Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
How we handle shower tray repair in North Howden
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. We regularly repair enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about damage around the waste and a tray that flexes.
For a rural address like North Howden, tell us about access and parking, and we’ll plan the visit around it.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, 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.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes cost nothing and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
When to call us in North Howden
Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Scratches in the surface
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chips caused during fitting
Landlords with property near Howden station (in North Howden itself) use us between tenancies, so shower trays are repaired rather than replaced.

The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

- 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.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
