Shower tray repair in Alverthorpe without replacing anything
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. We regularly repair enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are damage around the waste and snagging damage in a new bathroom.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Do you need shower tray repair in Alverthorpe?
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Damage around the waste
- Chips on the edges
- Staining and dullness across the tray
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

What affects the price in Alverthorpe
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job.
Common questions in Alverthorpe
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Usually, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Repair or replace in Alverthorpe?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Alverthorpe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your photos
- No need to remove anything
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One visit for most repairs

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Store bottles off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

What else we do in Alverthorpe
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Trays cracked in several places
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
