The process
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Shower tray repair in Cawood, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. If you are dealing with damage around the waste and scratches in the surface, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Cawood and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
FAQs for Cawood
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
How long does it take to cure?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Landlord and trade work in Cawood
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Do you need shower tray repair in Cawood?
Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Chipped corners or rims
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Movement when you stand on it
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cawood. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
