Shower tray repair at your home in Galgate
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are cracks running from the waste and chips on the edges.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Ceramic

Do you need shower tray repair in Galgate?
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A tray that flexes
- A crack across the base
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers

- Aftercare advice
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Ventilate the room after showers
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
