Signs you need shower tray repair in Gateside
Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Scratches in the surface
- Cracks running from the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chipped corners or rims
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Get a moving tray checked
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Landlord and trade work in Gateside
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair

- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
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 it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
