Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that moves underfoot

What we’re called out for in Gaskins

Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A crack across the base
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scratches in the surface

What your quote should include

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gaskins

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gaskins use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

FAQs for Gaskins

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you come to Gaskins?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Gaskins for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
