Shower tray repair at your home in Apedale
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We regularly repair ceramic, stone resin and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners or rims and a tray that flexes.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Apedale
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For anyone letting property in or around Apedale, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Common problems we fix in Apedale
Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on the edges
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A damaged area around the waste

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Apedale. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
