When to call us in Pontefract
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Damage around the waste
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking waste fittings

- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Repairing versus replacing in Pontefract
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- No need to remove anything
- Colour-matched on site

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
