Advice
Shower tray repair in Gorthleck without replacing anything
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. We are often asked to fix chips on the edges and scratches from cleaning or grit, in enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin.
Somewhere like Gorthleck, showers are frequently in converted or older buildings, where timber floors can move. We check the tray is solid before repairing a crack.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Store bottles off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Gorthleck
For anyone letting property in or around Gorthleck, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Repairing versus replacing in Gorthleck
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. For a rural home like those around Gorthleck, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.
Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Gorthleck: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Gorthleck?
Of course; we work in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking when you book.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How long before I can shower?
Typically the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
