Shower tray repair in Gatcombe, done in place
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. If you are dealing with a cracked shower tray and chipped corners or rims, we can help, on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Gatcombe, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gatcombe as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Gatcombe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Questions from Gatcombe
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you cover Gatcombe?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Gatcombe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, 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.
- 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.
- Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
For a price in Gatcombe, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
