How we handle shower tray repair in Glenridding
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Our technicians work on cast iron, stone resin and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about scratches from cleaning or grit and chips on the edges.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
