Shower tray repair in Ackenthwaite without replacing anything
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. If you’re dealing with movement when you stand on it and scuffs and light scratches, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Trays cracked in several places
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
When to call us in Ackenthwaite
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Common reasons people in Ackenthwaite contact us include:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips on the edges
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that flexes
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- Aftercare advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ackenthwaite. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Store bottles off the tray
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
