Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. If you are dealing with cracks running from the waste and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Cartmel
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
Clients normally contact us about:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit

- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- A fixed quote before booking
- No extra charge for your area

How long does it take to cure?
Typically the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
