What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Cockermouth

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Cockermouth is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you work in Cockermouth?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Cockermouth from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry

Common problems we fix in Cockermouth

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Cracks running from the waste

Choosing a repair company

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

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 may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Cockermouth

  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What affects the price in Cockermouth

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Cockermouth. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
