Gathurst questions
When can I use the shower again?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can

When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Do you need shower tray repair in Gathurst?
Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chips on the edges
- A damaged area around the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- What aftercare is recommended
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Check the seal every few months
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
