Shower tray repair in Egremont, done in place
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on cast iron, ceramic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners or rims and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Multiple cracks across the tray

Should you replace it?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Common questions in Egremont
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Typically, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you need shower tray repair in Egremont?
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A tray that flexes
- Damage around the waste
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
