Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
How we handle shower tray repair in Calthwaite
You don’t 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. Whether it’s damage from a refit or building work and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can normally put it right, on stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Questions from Calthwaite
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?
All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you need shower tray repair in Calthwaite?
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A cracked shower tray
- Chipped corners or rims
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
- What prep work is covered
- Who turns up on the day
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Use the extractor fan
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
