About our shower tray repair in Gorsley
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. If you are dealing with damage around the waste and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can generally put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Store bottles off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Ventilate the room after showers
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Common problems we fix in Gorsley
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Chips on the edges
- A cracked shower tray
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What preparation is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Questions from Gorsley
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you come to Gorsley?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Gorsley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
