Shower tray repair in West Rainton without replacing anything
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We work on ceramic, acrylic and stone resin, and people most often call us about a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips on the edges.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaking waste fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Why book with us
- One visit for most repairs
- Same prices wherever you are
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
FAQs for West Rainton
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes West Rainton. Prices don’t change with location.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Common problems we fix in West Rainton
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips caused during fitting
- Scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before you book
- What aftercare is recommended
- How long it needs to cure
- What preparation is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for 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 normally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
