How we handle shower tray repair in Derwenthorpe
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on acrylic, ceramic and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and damage around the waste.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in York.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Your questions about shower tray repair in Derwenthorpe
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Derwenthorpe
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire shower tray
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Derwenthorpe
Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

- Chips caused during fitting
- Movement when you stand on it
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site

Should you replace it?
