About our shower tray repair in Guist
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We are often asked to fix chips caused during fitting and chips on the edges, across stone resin, acrylic and ceramic.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Guist
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Guist?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NR20 postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are there extra charges for Guist?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

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. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves 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.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Guist
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
