Shower tray repair in Upper Tankersley, done in place
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our technicians work on cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are a damaged area around the waste and staining and dullness across the tray.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- 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
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Landlord and trade work in Upper Tankersley
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What we’re called out for in Upper Tankersley
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A cracked shower tray
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Scratches in the surface
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job

What affects the price in Upper Tankersley
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Upper Tankersley, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
