About our shower tray repair in Herrington
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We work on ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are damage from a refit or building work and a damaged area around the waste.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

FAQs for Herrington
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Sunderland.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Herrington. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
