When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What else we do in Gasthorpe
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Get a moving tray checked
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon 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.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
