About our shower tray repair in Little Ouseburn
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. If you are dealing with a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scratches in the surface, we can usually put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Should you replace it?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Common questions in Little Ouseburn
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your YO26 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Check the seal every few months
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
