Shower tray repair in Gilberries without replacing anything

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Whether it’s a damaged area around the waste and scuffs and light scratches, we can typically put it right, on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Should you replace it?

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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you don’t 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.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Gilberries: your questions answered

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Gilberries. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Gilberries. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

When to call us in Gilberries

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage around the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

  • How long it needs to cure
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day
