Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Shower tray repair in Caldbeck without replacing anything

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. We regularly repair ceramic, stone resin and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are chips or cracks by the plughole and staining and dullness across the tray.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it

Signs you need shower tray repair in Caldbeck

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that flexes
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What prep work is covered
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Get a moving tray checked

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Caldbeck: your questions answered

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Are there extra charges for Caldbeck?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Caldbeck, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
