Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Gateforth questions
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Gateforth. Prices do not change with location.
What affects the price in Gateforth
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

What else we do in Gateforth
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repair or replace in Gateforth?
Replacing a tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
