DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Shower tray repair at your home in Red Hills
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include scratches in the surface and damage from a refit or building work, in acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Red Hills
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Scratches in the surface
- A cracked shower tray
What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Red Hills: your questions answered
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
For a price in Red Hills, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
