How we handle shower tray repair in Gillow Heath
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We are often asked to fix damage from a refit or building work and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, in enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Gillow Heath
Do you work in Gillow Heath?
We do. Technicians travel to Gillow Heath from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
When to call us in Gillow Heath
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A damaged area around the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chips on the edges
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Straight answers about what a repair can do

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
Most customers in Gillow Heath get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Report any creaking or movement early
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
