About our shower tray repair in Carleton
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Whether it’s chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that flexes, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Carleton as everywhere else we work.

Questions from Carleton
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cumbria.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Carleton. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
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 trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Carleton
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carleton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot 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.
