About our shower tray repair in Beetham
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We’re often asked to fix scratches in the surface and a damaged area around the waste, in enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Beetham questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you cover Beetham?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Beetham. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cumbria.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Other services in Beetham
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Do you need shower tray repair in Beetham?
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Chips on the edges
- Damage around the waste
- A crack across the base
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
