About our shower tray repair in Askam in Furness
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are staining and dullness across the tray and a cracked shower tray.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace: which is better?

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
