Shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing for householders, landlords and businesses in Sands. Free, fixed quotes from your pictures.
- Repairs from £95
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Sands
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kirklees and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaking waste fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Sands
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
Before you book anyone
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How your room will be protected
- What prep work is covered
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Questions from Sands
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you come to Sands?
We do. We send a technician to Sands for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
