How we handle shower tray repair in Skidby
A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. If you have chips or cracks by the plughole and cracks running from the waste, we can usually put it right, on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron alike.
For a rural address like Skidby, tell us about access and parking, and we’ll organise the visit.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

When to call us in Skidby
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Chips caused during fitting
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that flexes
- Chips on the edges
If you manage a building such as Skidby Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School, we repair changing-room showers as well as work in homes.
What to look for in a quote

- How to look after the finish
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. In an older home in a village like Skidby, replacing a shower tray can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result. In a village or hamlet like Skidby, access can be the only tricky part. Once we’re there, the shower tray repair works exactly as anywhere else.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
