Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Eskdale Green
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eskdale Green use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Repair or replace in Eskdale Green?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
What we are called out for in Eskdale Green
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A cracked shower tray

Eskdale Green questions
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
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.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CA19 postcode.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Trays cracked in several places
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
