How we handle shower tray repair in Skipwith
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. We regularly repair acrylic, stone resin and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are edge chips from dropped bottles and chips caused during fitting.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your YO8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Trays cracked in several places
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should you replace it?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.

Skipwith questions
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you need shower tray repair in Skipwith?
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A crack across the base
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Damage around the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What prep work is covered
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
