Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Common problems we fix in Gare Hill
Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
Common reasons people in Gare Hill contact us include:
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Damage from a refit or building work

Gare Hill questions
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
What affects the price in Gare Hill
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
