How we handle shower tray repair in Huby
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We’re frequently asked to fix a tray that flexes and damage from a refit or building work, in stone resin, ceramic and cast iron.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Huby and across North Yorkshire.

When to call us in Huby
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A crack across the base
- Chips on the edges
- Damage around the waste
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to look after the finish
- When it can be used again
The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice
Common questions in Huby
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Huby, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse away soap after showering
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
