Shower tray repair at your home in Yelsted
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We regularly repair ceramic, acrylic and cast iron, and people most often call us about staining and dullness across the tray and chipped corners or rims.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

FAQs for Yelsted
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you work in Yelsted?
We do. Technicians travel to Yelsted from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Store bottles off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse away soap after showering
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Yelsted. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

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. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
