Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice
East Hardwick: your questions answered
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What areas do you cover?
All of Wakefield, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Normally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you cover East Hardwick?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to East Hardwick and the rest of Wakefield. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
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’ll say so.
Are there extra charges for East Hardwick?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
When to call us in East Hardwick
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
People generally call us when they notice something like this:
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chips on the edges
What to look for in a quote
- How to care for the finish
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if they find more damage
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the seal every few months
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

How we price shower tray repair
