Should you replace it?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode

- Something in shot to show the size
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Ormathwaite, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Questions from Ormathwaite
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What areas do you cover?
All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse away soap after showering
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Do you need shower tray repair in Ormathwaite?
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chipped corners or rims
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if they find more damage

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
