Shower tray repair in Motherby, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are edge chips from dropped bottles and chips or cracks by the plughole.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your CA11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Motherby
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Do you need shower tray repair in Motherby?
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chipped corners or rims
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A tray that flexes

FAQs for Motherby
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?
Across the UK, and that includes Motherby. Prices don’t change with location.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How long before I can shower?
Typically the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
