Bishopthorpe: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Shower tray repair in Bishopthorpe, done in place
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 repair lasts. We regularly repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are cracks running from the waste and scuffs and light scratches.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

What affects the price in Bishopthorpe
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Bishopthorpe. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colour-matched on site
- Everything repaired in place
- A year’s guarantee on all work

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- 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.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Do you need shower tray repair in Bishopthorpe?
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically along the edges or by the waste.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A tray that flexes
- Chips on the edges
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Landlord and trade work in Bishopthorpe
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
