About our shower tray repair in Maltby
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Common call-outs are for snagging damage in a new bathroom and movement when you stand on it, across acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Maltby, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Landlord and trade work in Maltby
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Covering Maltby
Maltby is about 1 mile east of Ingleby Barwick, in Middlesbrough. From the centre of Maltby to the outlying streets, the service is the same: fixed prices, tidy work and a one-year guarantee. Maltby is one of 33 towns and villages in Middlesbrough where we work. We work right across the region, from Maltby to Newcastle upon Tyne (about 36 miles away).
All of TS8 is covered, from the main roads to the quietest streets. That includes homes on High Lane, Roger Lane and Pennyman Green and the roads around them. Close by, we cover Thornton (1 mile east), Stainton (1 mile north-east), Brookfield (2 miles north-east), Hemlington (2 miles north-east) and Thornaby-on-Tees (2 miles north).

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Do you need shower tray repair in Maltby?
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Cracks running from the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- What prep work is covered
- How changes to the job are handled

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Get a moving tray checked
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
Maltby: your questions answered
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you come to Maltby?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Maltby from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
