About our shower tray repair in Horton
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair acrylic, stone resin and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that flexes and snagging damage in a new bathroom.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What affects the price in Horton
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- How many areas need work
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most customers in Horton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Get a moving tray checked
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When to call us in Horton
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, usually along the edges or by the waste.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
Questions to ask before you book

- How changes to the job are handled
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How soon you can use it again
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Questions from Horton
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Do you come to Horton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Horton. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of North Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Can pets and children be at home?
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 do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
