How we handle shower tray repair in Abbey Gate
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We regularly repair stone resin, acrylic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are staining and dullness across the tray and snagging damage in a new bathroom.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Abbey Gate questions
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Generally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Do you come to Abbey Gate?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Abbey Gate. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use the extractor fan
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work 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 make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What else we do in Abbey Gate
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Landlord and trade work in Abbey Gate
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Abbey Gate as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
When to call us in Abbey Gate
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.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Damage around the waste
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A crack across the base

- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Abbey Gate. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
