Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron

When to call us in Gosford

Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Common questions in Gosford

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Gosford?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your OX5 postcode.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
