Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Get a moving tray checked
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we’re called out for in Martin Dales
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
The things clients typically mention when they call include:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the room is protected while they work
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Your questions about shower tray repair in Martin Dales
When can I use the shower again?
Generally the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How the visit works
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 by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LN10 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Repairing versus replacing in Martin Dales
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
