Shower tray repair at your home in Catchgate
If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. We work on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches from cleaning or grit and edge chips from dropped bottles.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price

Landlord and trade work in Catchgate
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Catchgate use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- A fixed quote before booking
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
See our prices page.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
What affects the price in Catchgate
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Catchgate. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When to call us in Catchgate
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips caused during fitting
- Cracks running from the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- How long it needs to cure
- How the colour is matched
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
