Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lythe use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Lythe
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the exact time when we finish, usually the day after.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Do you work in Lythe?
We do. We send a technician to Lythe for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Common problems we fix in Lythe
Cracks often start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- A tray that flexes
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scratches in the surface
- Staining and dullness across the tray

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Get a moving tray checked
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
