About our shower tray repair in Alne
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 crack does not come back. Typical jobs include a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and scratches from cleaning or grit, on ceramic, acrylic and cast iron.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire.

Common problems we fix in Alne
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
Look out for any of the following:
- Chips on the edges
- A damaged area around the waste
- A cracked shower tray
- Movement when you stand on it

- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Alne questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How long before I can shower?
Typically the day after. We will confirm before we leave.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repairing versus replacing in Alne
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Ventilate the room after showers
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
