What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common questions in Gonerby Hill Foot

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Gonerby Hill Foot is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How long does it take to cure?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic

What we are called out for in Gonerby Hill Foot

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. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches

Questions to ask before you book

  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Repairing versus replacing in Gonerby Hill Foot

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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.
