How we handle shower tray repair in Blackbank
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you’re dealing with scratches in the surface and cracks running from the waste, we can usually put it right, on ceramic, cast iron and stone resin alike.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria.

What else we do in Blackbank
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole shower tray
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Blackbank as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
