Common problems we fix in Skipton
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- A crack across the base
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Damage around the waste

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What affects the price in Skipton
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Skipton. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
Most clients in Skipton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Common questions in Skipton
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Skipton. Our prices are the same everywhere.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Landlord and trade work in Skipton
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
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.
