Shower tray repair in Dewsbury, done in place
If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. Typical jobs include a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a damaged area around the waste, in enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaking waste fittings
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair

Dewsbury questions
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, generally the following day.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Repairing versus replacing in Dewsbury
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
When to call us in Dewsbury
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
Clients typically contact us about:

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Dewsbury, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
