About our shower tray repair in Gabber
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin, and people most often call us about a crack across the base and scratches in the surface.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Get a moving tray checked
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Gabber

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Questions from Gabber
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Generally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
