About our shower tray repair in East Herrington
We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. If you’re dealing with snagging damage in a new bathroom and a tray that flexes, we can typically put it right, on ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic alike.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Get a moving tray checked
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin

Landlord and trade work in East Herrington
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Sunderland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
FAQs for East Herrington
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Sunderland.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
