About our shower tray repair in Guardbridge
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Typical jobs include chips caused during fitting and chips or cracks by the plughole, across ceramic, stone resin and acrylic.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Common problems we fix in Guardbridge
Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Common reasons people in Guardbridge contact us are:
- A tray that flexes
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A damaged area around the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- When it can be used again
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from pictures so you don’t 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.
