How we handle shower tray repair in Low Ackworth
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. If you are dealing with a tray that flexes and chips on the edges, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Low Ackworth. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
For a price in Low Ackworth, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Questions from Low Ackworth
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Low Ackworth?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
