When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Walworth Gate: your questions answered
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your DL2 postcode.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Darlington.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Darlington. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why book with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Most jobs done in one visit
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We leave the room as we found it
See our prices page.
Common problems we fix in Walworth Gate
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
Comparing quotes
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
