Shower tray repair in Gelston, done in place
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. If you have movement when you stand on it and scratches in the surface, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
In a village like Gelston, many shower trays are in cottages and barn conversions, where timber floors can move. We check the tray is solid before repairing a crack.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used. For a rural address like Gelston, we plan the journey in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. We bring everything needed for the shower tray repair, so there’s no second trip.
- 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.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Replacement in Gelston means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colour-matched on site
Take a look at our Prices page.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Gelston
- Cast iron

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gelston as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
