How we handle shower tray repair in Greenholme
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. We regularly repair enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage in a new bathroom and a tray that flexes.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common problems we fix in Greenholme
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A tray that flexes
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What aftercare is recommended
Questions from Greenholme
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Ventilate the room after showers
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairing versus replacing in Greenholme
Replacing a tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, 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.
- 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, typically until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Work for landlords and builders
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 matters when someone is living in the home.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
