Shower tray repair in Sandwith without replacing anything
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. If you are dealing with chipped corners or rims and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

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 will not 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 anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Sandwith. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sandwith. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Common questions in Sandwith
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What areas do you cover?
All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CA28 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Trays cracked in several places
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Sandwith
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
