Shower tray repair at your home in Ferryhill Station

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. If you are dealing with cracks running from the waste and scratches in the surface, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Ferryhill Station

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you work in Ferryhill Station?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Ferryhill Station and the rest of County Durham. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Ferryhill Station?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DL17 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When to call us in Ferryhill Station

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that flexes
  • Chipped corners or rims

Comparing quotes

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before booking

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

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 tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
