About our shower tray repair in Gristhorpe

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. Our technicians work on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Gristhorpe and across North Yorkshire.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Gristhorpe

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gristhorpe

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gristhorpe use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

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.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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.

Common questions in Gristhorpe

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

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. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you come to Gristhorpe?

We do. Technicians travel to Gristhorpe from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
