Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Snainton, North Yorkshire
Shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing in Snainton, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Cracks running from the waste
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice
How we handle shower tray repair in Snainton
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. We work on cast iron, acrylic and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a crack across the base.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse away soap after showering
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive 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.
Repairing versus replacing in Snainton
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
