Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Kettlethorpe, Wakefield
Shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing in Kettlethorpe, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scratches in the surface
The process
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear the area around the damage

Advice
Shower tray repair in Kettlethorpe, done in place
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Our technicians work on ceramic, stone resin and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a dull, stained or worn surface and chips on the edges.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kettlethorpe as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why book with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- One visit for most repairs
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Store bottles off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Questions from Kettlethorpe
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Kettlethorpe is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Repairs by material
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-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
