DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
What affects the price in Salterbeck
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Salterbeck. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What we are called out for in Salterbeck
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- If travel is included in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- Aftercare advice
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
Repair or replace in Salterbeck?
Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Salterbeck: your questions answered
How long before I can shower?
Normally the day after. We will confirm before we leave.
Do you come to Salterbeck?
We do. Technicians travel to Salterbeck from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Salterbeck?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your CA14 postcode.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Salterbeck
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
