How we handle shower tray repair in Frosterley
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We’re frequently asked to fix movement when you stand on it and scuffs and light scratches, in stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Frosterley and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Use the extractor fan
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

What affects the price in Frosterley
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Frosterley. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DL13 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Do you need shower tray repair in Frosterley?

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
