Shower tray repair in Garth without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our technicians work on ceramic, cast iron and stone resin, and people most often call us about a dull, stained or worn surface and scratches from cleaning or grit.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse away soap after showering
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Garth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
