Shower tray repair in Penrith, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. If you’re dealing with a crack across the base and damage around the waste, we can generally put it right, on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Penrith as everywhere else we work.

Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Penrith: your questions answered
Do you come to Penrith?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Penrith from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairs by material
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 is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Check the seal every few months
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Ventilate the room after showers
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
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.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
