Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Shower tray repair at your home in Greenhead
We repair plenty of shower trays. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. Whether it’s chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can typically put it right, on cast iron, acrylic and stone resin alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Greenhead use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Repair or replace in Greenhead?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What we are called out for in Greenhead
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, generally along the edges or by the waste.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A crack across the base
- Movement when you stand on it
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Damage around the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- If travel is included in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CA8 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the area is dry
