Shower tray repair at your home in Clifton
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. We’re often asked to fix scratches from cleaning or grit and damage from a refit or building work, across ceramic, acrylic and cast iron.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- 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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Common problems we fix in Clifton

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the price covers travel

How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Related advice
What your shower tray is made of matters
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.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in York and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Common questions in Clifton
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
