About our shower tray repair in Ferryhill

Ferryhill questions
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Ferryhill?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your AB11 postcode.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Common problems we fix in Ferryhill
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A damaged area around the waste
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
- What preparation is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that moves underfoot

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Ferryhill
A new shower tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
