Shower tray repair in Sandhills, done in place
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Common call-outs are for movement when you stand on it and snagging damage in a new bathroom, in enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leeds.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Sandhills. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Your questions about shower tray repair in Sandhills
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Are there extra charges for Sandhills?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you cover the whole of Leeds?
The whole UK, including all of Leeds. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
