About our shower tray repair in Windermere
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Common call-outs are for damage from a refit or building work and movement when you stand on it, on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Do you need shower tray repair in Windermere?
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
What to look for in a quote
- How long it needs to cure
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Who turns up on the day
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Use the extractor fan
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Windermere questions
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Windermere?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you work in Windermere?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Windermere and the rest of Cumbria. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
How long before I can shower?
Usually the day after. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Should you replace it?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Landlord and trade work in Windermere
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
