Questions from Bowscar
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your CA11 postcode.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Are there extra charges for Bowscar?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cumbria.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
About Bowscar
Bowscar is about 3 miles north of Penrith, in Cumbria. We agree a date that works for you, and you’ll know when to expect us, so you’re not left waiting in all day. Bowscar is one of 438 places in Cumbria we cover. We work right across the region, from Bowscar to Newcastle upon Tyne (about 49 miles away).
All of CA11 is within our area, from the main roads to the quietest streets. We regularly work on streets such as Bowscar Road and Greengill Lane. If you’re just outside Bowscar, we cover Fair Hill (2 miles south), Plumpton (2 miles north-west), Newton Rigg (2 miles south-west), Penrith (3 miles south) and Newton Reigny (3 miles south-west). Within a short drive, we also cover Carlisle (15 miles north-west), Currock (14 miles north-west), Botcherby (14 miles north-west), Morton (15 miles north-west), Harraby (14 miles north-west) and Appleby-in-Westmorland (14 miles south-east).

What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

When to call us in Bowscar
Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Staining and dullness across the tray
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bowscar use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
