We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

How we handle shower tray repair in Soulby
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. Typical jobs include a dull, stained or worn surface and chipped corners or rims, in stone resin, acrylic and cast iron.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Trays cracked in several places
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
FAQs for Soulby
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.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A fixed quote before you book
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, 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 is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

When to call us in Soulby
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damage around the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who will actually do the work
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
