Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Shower tray repair in Guildford, done in place
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Whether it’s scuffs and light scratches and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can help, on cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.
FAQs for Guildford
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you work in Guildford?
We do. Technicians travel to Guildford from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are there extra charges for Guildford?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you cover the whole of Surrey?
Across the UK, and that includes Guildford. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- 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.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Check the seal every few months
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
What affects the price in Guildford
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Guildford. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
