About our shower tray repair in Kirkthorpe
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and scuffs and light scratches.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wakefield.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Same prices wherever you are
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- We leave the room as we found it

When to call us in Kirkthorpe
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Damage from a refit or building work

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
