Shower tray repair in Gayton without replacing anything
We repair plenty of shower trays. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. We regularly repair enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the edges and staining and dullness across the tray.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Ventilate the room after showers
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gayton. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
What we are called out for in Gayton
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.
Clients usually contact us about:
- A tray that flexes
- A crack across the base
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
What your quote should include
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Can I fix it myself?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
