Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Landlord and trade work in Riding Mill
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we are called out for in Riding Mill
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scratches from cleaning or grit

Riding Mill questions
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Riding Mill?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
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.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Are there extra charges for Riding Mill?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How long does it take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, usually the next day.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Riding Mill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
