Shower tray repair in Cat Bank, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Common call-outs are for staining and dullness across the tray and chips on the edges, across ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Questions from Cat Bank
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Cat Bank and the rest of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
How long does it take to cure?
Generally the day after. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cat Bank. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed price.
What your shower tray is made of matters
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.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Cast iron

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Rinse away soap after showering
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
