Shower tray repair at your home in Askham
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We are often asked to fix chips or cracks by the plughole and scratches from cleaning or grit, on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Common questions in Askham
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?
We work UK-wide, so Askham is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you cover Askham?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Askham from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Use the extractor fan
- Check the seal every few months
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- 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
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Askham
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- No need to remove anything
- Most jobs done in one visit
See our prices page.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Askham. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- The material
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
Most customers in Askham get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Stone resin
- Cast iron

Do you need shower tray repair in Askham?
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Chips on the edges
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A crack across the base
- Chips caused during fitting

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
