Shower tray repair in Little Salkeld, done in place
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. Whether it’s movement when you stand on it and cracks running from the waste, we can usually put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Store bottles off the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
What we are called out for in Little Salkeld
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

- A tray that flexes
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Scratches in the surface
What your quote should include

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Little Salkeld, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Little Salkeld questions
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, typically the next day.

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
