What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Shower tray repair in Kents Bank without replacing anything
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We regularly repair stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are staining and dullness across the tray and scratches from cleaning or grit.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Kents Bank and across Cumbria.

When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
Questions from Kents Bank
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
What areas do you cover?
All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, usually the following day.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Ventilate the room after showers
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Kents Bank. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Common problems we fix in Kents Bank
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scratches in the surface
- Movement when you stand on it
- Cracks running from the waste
What your quote should include
- When it can be used again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take 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 strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry

Repairing versus replacing in Kents Bank
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
