Shower Tray Repair for Northowram homes
Shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing in Northowram, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A crack across the base
- A damaged area around the waste
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Shower tray repair in Northowram, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. We work on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and people most often call us about a damaged area around the waste and chips on the edges.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Calderdale.

Landlord and trade work in Northowram
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Northowram
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Are there extra charges for Northowram?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
What affects the price in Northowram
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t 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.

What else we do in Northowram
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Northowram
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
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.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
