Shower Tray Repair for Galemire homes
Shower tray repair across Galemire and nearby, generally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chipped corners or rims
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How we handle shower tray repair in Galemire
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We work on enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about scratches in the surface and chips on the edges.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

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 early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Common questions in Galemire
Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?
We cover the entire UK, including Galemire and the rest of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Galemire?

Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
