Signs you need shower tray repair in Skitby
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A crack across the base
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Questions from Skitby
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
What information do you need?

I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you cover Skitby?
We do. We send a technician to Skitby for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
The process
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
