Cayton questions
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
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.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Shower tray repair at your home in Cayton
If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. We work on cast iron, stone resin and acrylic, and people most often call us about chipped corners or rims and damage from a refit or building work.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use the extractor fan
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
What affects the price in Cayton
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
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.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Cayton, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Cayton
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cayton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
