Local shower tray repair for Rushyford: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scratches in the surface
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can

About our shower tray repair in Rushyford
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. We are often asked to fix cracks running from the waste and edge chips from dropped bottles, on ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Rushyford and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

FAQs for Rushyford
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you cover the whole of County Durham?
Everywhere in the UK, Rushyford included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace in Rushyford?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Rushyford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
