Shower tray repair in Ramshaw without replacing anything
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. Whether it’s snagging damage in a new bathroom and a crack across the base, we can usually put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

What we’re called out for in Ramshaw
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Chips on the edges
- Staining and dullness across the tray
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How soon you can use it again
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Related advice
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that moves underfoot
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Report any creaking or movement early
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in County Durham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Ramshaw questions
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Ramshaw is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Do you work in Ramshaw?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ramshaw and the rest of County Durham. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, 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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
