Shower tray repair in Thirlby, done in place
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. We work on ceramic, acrylic and cast iron, and people most often call us about staining and dullness across the tray and chips on the edges.

Common problems we fix in Thirlby
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scuffs and light scratches

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Thirlby questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Thirlby?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your YO7 postcode.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
