Shower tray repair in York without replacing anything
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. We regularly repair enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a cracked shower tray and edge chips from dropped bottles.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Questions from York
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of York. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
What affects the price in York
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in York, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Related advice
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Signs you need shower tray repair in York
Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A crack across the base
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

Repairing versus replacing in York
A new shower tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
