About our shower tray repair in Waberthwaite
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, ceramic and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the edges and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Waberthwaite and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Waberthwaite. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Waberthwaite
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Common reasons people in Waberthwaite contact us are:
- Chipped corners or rims
- A damaged area around the waste
- A crack across the base
- Chips caused during fitting
Before you book anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Landlords, agents and businesses in Waberthwaite
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- 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
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Common questions in Waberthwaite
Do you cover Waberthwaite?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Waberthwaite. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When can I use the shower again?
We will give you the curing time on the day, typically the following day.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
