Shower tray repair in Gawthrop without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Typical jobs include a tray that flexes and damage from a refit or building work, on enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria.

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use the extractor fan
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Gawthrop. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LA10 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on

Gawthrop questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Gawthrop?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
