How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry

Advice
Shower tray repair in Gowkhall without replacing anything
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. If you’re dealing with a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Gowkhall. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Gowkhall
Do you work in Gowkhall?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Gowkhall. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse away soap after showering
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What else we do in Gowkhall
Do you need shower tray repair in Gowkhall?
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Damage around the waste
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that flexes
Before you book anyone
- When it can be used again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlord and trade work in Gowkhall
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
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.
