Shower tray repair in Byermoor, done in place
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. If you’re dealing with scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that flexes, we can help.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse away soap after showering
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
