Shower tray repair in Gambles Green, done in place
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. We regularly repair stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the edges and damage around the waste.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When to call us in Gambles Green
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
People normally call us after spotting something like this:
- A crack across the base
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Movement when you stand on it
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use the extractor fan
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gambles Green
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around Gambles Green, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Gambles Green
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
