About our shower tray repair in Kirkby Stephen
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Common call-outs are for scratches from cleaning or grit and chips or cracks by the plughole, on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Should you replace it?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
What you get with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Most jobs done in one visit
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Common questions in Kirkby Stephen
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Kirkby Stephen?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CA17 postcode.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
What happens if you find more damage?

Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
What a repair can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
