The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit

Shower tray repair in Cummersdale without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Common call-outs are for a crack across the base and movement when you stand on it, on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cummersdale as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire shower tray
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CA2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
FAQs for Cummersdale
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you work in Cummersdale?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Cummersdale from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
