What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes 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.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Questions from Great Houghton
Do you cover the entire of Barnsley?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you work in Great Houghton?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Great Houghton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Store bottles off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
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 early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
What affects the price in Great Houghton
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Houghton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
