About our shower tray repair in Gainsborough
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are chipped corners or rims and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

What affects the price in Gainsborough
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos 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:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
What your shower tray is made of matters
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.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
When to call us in Gainsborough
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Scratches in the surface
- Cracks running from the waste
- Chips on the edges

Repair or replace in Gainsborough?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
