Shower Tray Repair for Allonby homes
Shower tray repair in Allonby without the cost of replacing. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, then we come to you.
- Repairs from £95
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A dull, stained or worn surface
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Report any creaking or movement early
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Common questions in Allonby
Do you come to Allonby?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Allonby from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time on the day, generally the next day.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
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.

What else we do in Allonby
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaking waste fittings
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic

Repair or replace in Allonby?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
