The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire 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.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kirkby-in-Furness as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Get a moving tray checked
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that moves underfoot
- A tray broken in more than one place
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Kirkby-in-Furness
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chips caused during fitting
- Damage around the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
- How your room will be protected
- How soon you can use it again
