Your questions about shower tray repair in Gorstage
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you come to Gorstage?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Gorstage for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Landlord and trade work in Gorstage
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cheshire West and Chester and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
