DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we handle shower tray repair in Gibbonsdown
We repair plenty of shower trays. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. Typical jobs include damage around the waste and a dull, stained or worn surface, on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Common problems we fix in Gibbonsdown
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chips on the edges

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Other services in Gibbonsdown
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Gibbonsdown, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gibbonsdown as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Gibbonsdown. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Gibbonsdown. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
