Advice
Do you need shower tray repair in Crookgate Bank?
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Damage around the waste
- Scratches in the surface
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if they find more damage
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crookgate Bank as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
