Shower tray repair in Gibraltar without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you are dealing with snagging damage in a new bathroom and scuffs and light scratches, we can help, on enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
Common problems we fix in Gibraltar
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A crack across the base
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scratches in the surface

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For a price in Gibraltar, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Gibraltar, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repairing versus replacing in Gibraltar
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
