Lakeside questions
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Do you cover Lakeside?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Lakeside and the rest of Cumbria. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cumbria.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What affects the price in Lakeside
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lakeside. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole shower tray
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your LA12 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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 whole 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 usually be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Most customers in Lakeside get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lakeside
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a repair cannot fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
