Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Shower tray repair at your home in Howgill
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Our technicians work on acrylic, ceramic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a cracked shower tray and chipped corners or rims.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Howgill and across Cumbria.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get a moving tray checked
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Repair or replace in Howgill?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Howgill questions
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
