Shower Tray Repair in Layerthorpe
Damaged shower tray in Layerthorpe? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A crack across the base
- Damage from a refit or building work
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Shower tray repair in Layerthorpe without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Whether it’s a dull, stained or worn surface and damage from a refit or building work, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in York.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Store bottles off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Layerthorpe: your questions answered
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across York.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Layerthorpe

- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re 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 fails, we can still put it right.
