Shower tray repair at your home in Elsecar
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s a dull, stained or worn surface and chips caused during fitting, we can help.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Elsecar use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Elsecar, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaking waste fittings
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
When to call us in Elsecar
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
Comparing quotes

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What affects the price in Elsecar
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
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.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Elsecar: your questions answered
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Elsecar is covered. Prices do not change with location.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Elsecar?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Elsecar. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
