About our shower tray repair in Shelf
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Typical jobs include a cracked shower tray and damage from a refit or building work, in enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
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.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- 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
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

FAQs for Shelf
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What areas do you cover?
All of Calderdale, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover Shelf?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Shelf from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shelf
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When to call us in Shelf
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Cracks running from the waste
- Damage around the waste
Before you book anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What prep work is covered
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
