Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Shower tray repair in Gayton, done in place
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We work on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about edge chips from dropped bottles and a dull, stained or worn surface.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Gayton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive 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. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
FAQs for Gayton
