Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Shower tray repair in Smardale, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you are dealing with movement when you stand on it and scratches in the surface, we can help, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria.

- Chips on the edges

Questions to ask before booking

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Smardale as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We leave the room clean.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
What affects the price in Smardale
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit

- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Smardale, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

- Leaking waste fittings
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Questions from Smardale
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Are there extra charges for Smardale?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?
We work UK-wide, so Smardale is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
