Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Shower tray repair at your home in Scropton
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We work on enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage in a new bathroom and cracks running from the waste.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

FAQs for Scropton
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Scropton, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Scropton
A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start 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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
