Your questions about shower tray repair in Kirk Hammerton
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Are there extra charges for Kirk Hammerton?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

When to call us in Kirk Hammerton
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
The things customers normally mention when they call are:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that flexes
- Chips on the edges

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaking waste fittings
- Trays cracked in several places
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Cast iron

- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the area is dry
