Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Common problems we fix in Winscales
Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A cracked shower tray
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Damage around the waste

What else we do in Winscales
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Use the extractor fan
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaking waste fittings
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Winscales
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Your questions about shower tray repair in Winscales
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
