Shower Tray Repair in Gold Hill
Shower tray repair in and around Gold Hill: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the edges
- Scuffs and light scratches
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Shower tray repair in Gold Hill, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Common call-outs are for chips or cracks by the plughole and a dull, stained or worn surface, on enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaking waste fittings
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Gold Hill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Common problems we fix in Gold Hill
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A tray that flexes
- A crack across the base
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
