The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair

- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel

- Ceramic
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Common problems we fix in Goathurst Common
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.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A crack across the base
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How soon you can use it again
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
Goathurst Common: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Goathurst Common included. Travel is included in the price.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
