Shower tray repair at your home in Waitby
We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. We regularly repair enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a crack across the base and chips or cracks by the plughole.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Check the seal every few months
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What else we do in Waitby
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Common questions in Waitby
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Are there extra charges for Waitby?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
How long does it take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
What we are called out for in Waitby
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A tray that flexes
- A damaged area around the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
