Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Common problems we fix in Acaster Malbis
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A tray that flexes
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Damage around the waste

- What happens if they find more damage

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in York and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Acaster Malbis use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
