Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
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.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Check the seal every few months
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Garth
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Are there extra charges for Garth?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
