How the visit works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

About our shower tray repair in Garden City
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. We regularly repair acrylic, ceramic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a tray that flexes 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.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Store bottles off the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Garden City
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
How long does it take to cure?
Usually the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
