Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Port Carlisle included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How we handle shower tray repair in Port Carlisle

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’re often asked to fix a tray that flexes and a dull, stained or worn surface, on acrylic, cast iron and stone resin.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Port Carlisle

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Everything repaired in place

Take a look at our full price list.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most customers in Port Carlisle get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Common problems we fix in Port Carlisle

Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A crack across the base
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips caused during fitting

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Get a moving tray checked

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
