Shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing at your home in Carleton, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
What we’re called out for in Carleton
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Common reasons people in Carleton contact us are:
- Chipped corners or rims
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Scratches in the surface
- Damage around the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Shower tray repair in Carleton, done in place
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips caused during fitting and scratches in the surface.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Carleton and across Cumbria.

What else we do in Carleton
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: 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.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CA11 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Carleton
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
How it works
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 typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Should you replace it?
A new shower tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. 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.
