How we handle shower tray repair in Plumpton
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Typical jobs include movement when you stand on it and scratches from cleaning or grit, in cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Plumpton and across Cumbria.

Our work in Plumpton
Plumpton is about 4 miles north of Penrith, in Cumbria. We agree a date that works for you, and you’ll know when to expect us, so you are not left waiting in all day.

We also cover the places around Plumpton: Bowscar (2 miles south-east), Calthwaite (3 miles north-west), Great Salkeld (3 miles east), Newton Reigny (3 miles south) and Lazonby (4 miles north-east).

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairing versus replacing in Plumpton
A new shower tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Common questions in Plumpton
Do you work in Plumpton?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Plumpton and the rest of Cumbria. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Common problems we fix in Plumpton
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chips on the edges

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
