Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Common problems we fix in Great Asby
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scratches in the surface
Before booking anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included
Repair or replace in Great Asby?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Great Asby, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Great Asby: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?
Across the UK, and that includes Great Asby. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
How the visit works
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, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
