Shower tray repair at your home in Matterdale End
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Common call-outs are for a dull, stained or worn surface and edge chips from dropped bottles, across acrylic, cast iron and ceramic.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Matterdale End and across Cumbria.

What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t 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.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Matterdale End: your questions answered
Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?
All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What we cannot put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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 typically the cheaper route.
