Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Gorton. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
What we are called out for in Gorton
Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
Look out for these signs:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A cracked shower tray
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find more damage
- What aftercare is recommended
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Your questions about shower tray repair in Gorton
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
