Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

FAQs for Gorse Hill
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Do you cover the entire of Swindon?
Across the UK, and that includes Gorse Hill. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
How long before I can shower?
Normally the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Should you replace it?
The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- No need to remove anything
- Work done at your home or business
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- One-year guarantee on every repair
See our prices page.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Swindon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
If you manage property in Gorse Hill, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaking waste fittings
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
