How we handle shower tray repair in Botcherby
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair stone resin, cast iron and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks running from the waste and chips on the edges.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
Questions from Botcherby
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cumbria.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Ventilate the room after showers
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Botcherby
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

- Chips on the edges
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips caused during fitting
- Cracks running from the waste

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
What affects the price in Botcherby
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Most customers in Botcherby get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
