About shower tray repair in Cumbria

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. We work on enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are chips caused during fitting and staining and dullness across the tray.

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

Cost

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Use the extractor fan

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Signs you need shower tray repair

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Movement when you stand on it

FAQs for Cumbria

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
