Your questions about shower tray repair in Troutbeck
Can you quote from pictures?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cumbria.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Troutbeck?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you need shower tray repair in Troutbeck?
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Damage around the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How your room will be protected
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Troutbeck. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find 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.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Can I fix it myself?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
