Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Thornborough, North Yorkshire
Fixed-price shower tray repair in Thornborough and the surrounding area, typically in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Check the seal every few months
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Shower tray repair in Thornborough, done in place
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Common call-outs are for a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and edge chips from dropped bottles, in stone resin, cast iron and ceramic.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Thornborough
Can I get a quote without a visit?

What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across North Yorkshire.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
