About our shower tray repair in Borrowby
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our technicians work on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron, and people most often call us about staining and dullness across the tray and a cracked shower tray.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Borrowby
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What we’re called out for in Borrowby
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.
Look out for any of the following:
- A crack across the base
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
Before you book anyone
- How to look after the finish
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the price covers travel
- Who turns up on the day
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Get a moving tray checked
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
