What we’re called out for in Saltburn
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage around the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A cracked shower tray

Shower tray repair in Saltburn without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s scratches from cleaning or grit and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Questions from Saltburn
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
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.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What affects the price in Saltburn
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size

- A photo taken from further back
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Some remote addresses need extra planning, so call us to arrange it.

When we’d advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole 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.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use the extractor fan
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Repairing versus replacing in Saltburn
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Saltburn. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
