How we handle shower tray repair in Bishop Middleham
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. Typical jobs include a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a damaged area around the waste, across enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
Common problems we fix in Bishop Middleham
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
Common reasons people in Bishop Middleham contact us are:
- Scratches in the surface
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Damage around the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who turns up on the day
- How your room will be protected
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Get a moving tray checked
- Store bottles off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Bishop Middleham
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
