How we handle shower tray repair in Gate Head
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips caused during fitting, on cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
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.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire shower tray
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Questions from Gate Head
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Gate Head. Prices do not change with location.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What else we do in Gate Head
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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.
When to call us in Gate Head
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A tray that flexes
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
- If travel is included in the price
