Shower tray repair in Cross Gates without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, stone resin and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are damage around the waste and a crack across the base.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Cross Gates. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your LS15 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Cross Gates
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cross Gates
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.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
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 we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
