Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Sunniside, Sunderland
Local shower tray repair for Sunniside: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Sunniside. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sunniside. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Sunniside questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
