Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Shower tray repair at your home in Riccall
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are scuffs and light scratches and a dull, stained or worn surface.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Questions from Riccall
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you come to Riccall?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Riccall from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Riccall?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your YO19 postcode.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Landlord and trade work in Riccall
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Common problems we fix in Riccall
Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- Chips on the edges
- Movement when you stand on it
- Cracks running from the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
Questions to ask before booking
- How your room will be protected
- How changes to the job are handled
- How to look after the finish
- If travel is included in the price
Repair or replace in Riccall?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
