Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Your questions about shower tray repair in Downfield
Do you come to Downfield?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Downfield and the rest of Cumbria. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cumbria.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
