Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Shower tray repair in Kirk Ella, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We work on stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are a crack across the base and a damaged area around the waste.
In and around Kirk Ella, walk-in showers and shower rooms are common in bungalows. A firm tray can be repaired where it sits.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Riding of Yorkshire.

Common questions in Kirk Ella
Do you take on commercial work in Kirk Ella?
Yes, we work for schools, leisure centres and businesses. Photos and a few details are enough for a quote.
I let a flat near Hessle station. Can you help between tenants?
Yes, we frequently work between tenancies, and several addresses can be quoted together.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across East Riding of Yorkshire.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Check the seal every few months
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days. Visits around Kirk Ella are normally simple: we park, protect the room and get started.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
What we cannot put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Common problems we fix in Kirk Ella
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Movement when you stand on it
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
Landlords with property near Hessle station (about 2.5 miles south) use us between tenancies, so shower trays are repaired rather than replaced.

What affects the price in Kirk Ella
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed, with no obligation. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. In a smaller place like Kirk Ella, getting trades out for a full replacement can take time to arrange. A repair is one visit from us.
Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
