Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Shower tray repair at your home in Barrow-in-Furness
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. We are frequently asked to fix a crack across the base and chips on the edges, in cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Common problems we fix in Barrow-in-Furness
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A crack across the base
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Questions from Barrow-in-Furness
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Store bottles off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LA14 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
