Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What affects the price in Greengate
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Greengate. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Your questions about shower tray repair in Greengate
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
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.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Check the seal every few months
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Common problems we fix in Greengate
Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Cracks running from the waste
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the room is protected while they work
The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Related advice
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Repairing versus replacing in Greengate
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
