Shower tray repair in Yarpole, 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. We work on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about scratches in the surface and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What affects the price in Yarpole
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Yarpole. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

FAQs for Yarpole
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Yarpole
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Yarpole use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Common problems we fix in Yarpole
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
