How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Get a moving tray checked
- Store bottles off the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Repairing versus replacing in Gilson
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gilson use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Questions from Gilson
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
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.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you cover Gilson?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Gilson for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
