Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Multiple cracks across the tray

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Your questions about shower tray repair in Dufton
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Do you cover Dufton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Dufton. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Common problems we fix in Dufton
Cracks often start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that flexes
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
What affects the price in Dufton
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Dufton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use the extractor fan
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
