What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- 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.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What affects the price in Grayrigg
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Grayrigg. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Grayrigg as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Questions from Grayrigg
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
When can I use the shower again?
We will give you the curing time on the day, normally the day after.
Do you come to Grayrigg?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Grayrigg from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Common problems we fix in Grayrigg
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips on the edges
- A crack across the base
- Chips caused during fitting
Comparing quotes
- How to care for the finish
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
