Shower tray repair in Ellerby, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and chips caused during fitting.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Ellerby and across Redcar and Cleveland.

When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Ventilate the room after showers
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
How it works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Ellerby
How long before I can shower?
Normally the next day. We will confirm before we leave.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Ellerby. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TS13 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
