Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Are there extra charges for Appleby-in-Westmorland?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Appleby-in-Westmorland?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your CA16 postcode.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
How it works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- 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
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Do you need shower tray repair in Appleby-in-Westmorland?
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A dull, stained or worn surface
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How to look after the finish
- How long it needs to cure
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Store bottles off the tray
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole shower tray
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
