Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

FAQs for Gileston
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you come to Gileston?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Gileston. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gileston as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Gileston. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
