Should you replace it?

Shower tray repair at your home in Gawthwaite
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include scuffs and light scratches and chipped corners or rims, on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria.

When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Store bottles off the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
For a price in Gawthwaite, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.
- 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.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
