What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Do you need shower tray repair in Earswick?
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chipped corners or rims
- Damage around the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
Before booking anyone
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Get a moving tray checked
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Earswick
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Earswick included. Travel is included in the price.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish.
Do you come to Earswick?
We do. We send a technician to Earswick for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
