The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Shower tray repair at your home in Boleside
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are a damaged area around the waste and staining and dullness across the tray.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
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.
Repairing versus replacing in Boleside
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why Boleside clients choose us
- No extra charge for your area
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Boleside, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Boleside?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
