How we handle shower tray repair in South Kirkby and Moorthorpe
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the edges and damage around the waste.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wakefield.

South Kirkby and Moorthorpe: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Wakefield. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
What affects the price in South Kirkby and Moorthorpe
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get a moving tray checked
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What else we do in South Kirkby and Moorthorpe
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around South Kirkby and Moorthorpe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
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.
