Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Check the seal every few months
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
About our shower tray repair in Knowsthorpe
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Typical jobs include damage around the waste and movement when you stand on it, on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

FAQs for Knowsthorpe
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
When to call us in Knowsthorpe

- A crack across the base

- Whether the price covers travel

How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
