How we handle shower tray repair in How
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Typical jobs include a dull, stained or worn surface and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, on acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Covering How
How is about 7 miles east of Carlisle, in Cumbria. Anywhere in CA8, we come to you. We cover all 438 towns and villages in Cumbria, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Newcastle upon Tyne, about 45 miles away.
All of CA8 is covered. From How Street and How Lane or anywhere nearby, a technician can come to you. If you’re just outside How, we cover Hayton (1 mile north-west), Fenton (1 mile south), Heads Nook (2 miles south-west), Castle Carrock (2 miles south-east) and Talkin (2 miles east). We also work in nearby towns such as Carlisle (7 miles west), Currock (7 miles west), Raffles (8 miles west), Botcherby (7 miles west), Morton (8 miles west) and Belle Vue (9 miles west).
Local landmarks in How
Around How, we work in homes near Church of St Mary Magdalen, Graham Arms (West Of Gelt Bridge) and Hayton CofE Primary School and the streets around them. The closest station to How is Brampton (Cumbria) station, about 2.7 miles north-east.

Can I fix it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Do you need shower tray repair in How?
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips caused during fitting
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Staining and dullness across the tray
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- What preparation is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Everything repaired in place
