How we handle shower tray repair in Gildingwells
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a cracked shower tray, we can generally put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Common questions in Gildingwells
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Nottinghamshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your S81 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Gildingwells
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:
- A cracked shower tray
- Scratches in the surface
- Movement when you stand on it
- Staining and dullness across the tray
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- What preparation is included
- What happens if they find more damage

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Check the seal every few months
- Ventilate the room after showers
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
