How we handle shower tray repair in Bolton-on-Swale
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We’re often asked to fix movement when you stand on it and a dull, stained or worn surface, across cast iron, acrylic and ceramic.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire.

What else we do in Bolton-on-Swale
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Get a moving tray checked
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Questions from Bolton-on-Swale
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish.
Do you come to Bolton-on-Swale?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Bolton-on-Swale and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

When to call us in Bolton-on-Swale
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Cracks running from the waste

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
