Shower Tray Repair in Friar's Gate
Shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing in Friar's Gate, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Check the seal every few months
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
How we handle shower tray repair in Friar's Gate
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for chipped corners or rims and damage around the waste, in enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron

What affects the price in Friar's Gate
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
