FAQs for Greengates
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Shower tray repair in Greengates without replacing anything
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We regularly repair stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are edge chips from dropped bottles and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. The room is left tidy.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Greengates. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Repairing versus replacing in Greengates
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Greengates. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Common problems we fix in Greengates
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A cracked shower tray
- Scratches in the surface
Comparing quotes
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Check the seal every few months
- Ventilate the room after showers
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
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.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that moves underfoot
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
