What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Great Orton. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
About our shower tray repair in Great Orton
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Whether it’s a dull, stained or worn surface and chips caused during fitting, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria.

How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
What we’re called out for in Great Orton
Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
Look out for any of the following:
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A damaged area around the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
- Store bottles off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Repair or replace in Great Orton?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
