Shower tray repair in Brafferton without replacing anything
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s a crack across the base and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can help, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Brafferton as everywhere else we work.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
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.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use the extractor fan
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaking waste fittings
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Common questions in Brafferton
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Typically, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

- Chips caused during fitting
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
Questions to ask before you book

- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if they find more damage

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
