Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Tinker Hey, Calderdale

- Repairs from £95
- A tray that flexes
- Scratches in the surface
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Shower tray repair in Tinker Hey, done in place
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Common call-outs are for chips caused during fitting and a tray that flexes, in acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What a repair cannot fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
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 shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your HX3 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Common questions in Tinker Hey
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Should you replace it?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
