Questions from Knayton
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across North Yorkshire.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How long before I can shower?
Usually the next day. We will confirm before we leave.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Shower tray repair in Knayton, 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 are not disturbed.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Knayton. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What else we do in Knayton
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access

Related advice
Landlord and trade work in Knayton
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Get a moving tray checked
- Rinse away soap after showering
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
