How we handle shower tray repair in East Ayton
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. If you’re dealing with chipped corners or rims and a cracked shower tray, we can normally put it right, on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in East Ayton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole shower tray
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Signs you need shower tray repair in East Ayton
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Scratches in the surface
- A damaged area around the waste
- A crack across the base
- Chipped corners or rims
Before booking anyone
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How soon you can use it again
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
