About our shower tray repair in Gaunts
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. If you are dealing with movement when you stand on it and scratches in the surface, we can help, on stone resin, ceramic and cast iron alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
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 usually the cheaper route.

Common questions in Gaunts
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
