Shower tray repair in Gerrans, done in place
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Common call-outs are for a cracked shower tray and a damaged area around the waste, on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Gerrans and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
If you are in Gerrans and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Gerrans
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
What affects the price in Gerrans
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
When to call us in Gerrans
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
The things customers generally mention when they call are:
- Cracks running from the waste
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Movement when you stand on it
Before you book anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Store bottles off the tray
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
