On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Shower tray repair at your home in Bradford
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. Whether it’s a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can generally put it right, on acrylic, cast iron and stone resin alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Common problems we fix in Bradford
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damage around the waste
- A cracked shower tray
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Repair or replace in Bradford?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before you book
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Work done at your home or business
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What affects the price in Bradford
