Shower Tray Repair in Gillar's Green
Our technicians come to Gillar's Green for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips caused during fitting
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Shower tray repair in Gillar's Green without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. We regularly repair enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are scratches in the surface and a cracked shower tray.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use the extractor fan
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Gillar's Green
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Should you replace it?

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
