What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Landlord and trade work in Wigton

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.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wigton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Wigton. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price
