Shower tray repair at your home in Rickleton
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Common call-outs are for a crack across the base and chips caused during fitting, across cast iron, stone resin and ceramic.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairing versus replacing in Rickleton
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- One price list for the whole UK
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Everything repaired in place

What affects the price in Rickleton
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Rickleton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Use the extractor fan
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
FAQs for Rickleton
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Rickleton and the rest of Sunderland. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How it works
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
