For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
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.
How we handle shower tray repair in Hawkshead
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. Our technicians work on acrylic, stone resin and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are staining and dullness across the tray and a cracked shower tray.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Hawkshead
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes Hawkshead. Prices do not change with location.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Are there extra charges for Hawkshead?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
When to call us in Hawkshead
Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A crack across the base
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Movement when you stand on it
Before booking anyone
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What prep work is covered
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Hawkshead. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Work done at your home or business
See our prices page.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Store bottles off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
