- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that flexes
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips caused during fitting

Shower tray repair at your home in Cargo
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. We work on ceramic, cast iron and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are a dull, stained or worn surface and cracks running from the waste.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Cargo. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Cargo, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. The room is left tidy.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Common questions in Cargo
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Cargo
Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
