What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Shower tray repair in Clareton, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Typical jobs include a dull, stained or worn surface and a tray that flexes, across acrylic, ceramic and cast iron.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. 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. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that moves underfoot
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Yorkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Clareton: your questions answered
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
What affects the price in Clareton
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
