How we handle shower tray repair in South Hylton
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. If you’re dealing with a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and damage around the waste, we can help, on cast iron, ceramic and stone resin alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- 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.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
Most customers in South Hylton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use the extractor fan
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to South Hylton. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Landlord and trade work in South Hylton

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
