Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Buckabank questions
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cumbria.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
When to call us in Buckabank
Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scratches in the surface
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Damage from a refit or building work
Before booking anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long it needs to cure
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Check the seal every few months
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Buckabank, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What affects the price in Buckabank
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
