How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Repair or replace in Gulval?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gulval. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TR18 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Common questions in Gulval
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Gulval
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
