Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
How we handle shower tray repair in Hunsonby
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Whether it’s movement when you stand on it and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can help.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hunsonby and across Cumbria.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
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.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaking waste fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Hunsonby questions
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
