  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, 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 heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Gunthorpe: your questions answered

Do you work for landlords with property near Lowdham station?

Yes, rental work is a big part of what we do, and a repair between tenants is usually quicker than replacing.

Do you come out to small places like Gunthorpe?

Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking when you book.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Gunthorpe?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most clients in Gunthorpe get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Do you need shower tray repair in Gunthorpe?

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scratches in the surface

We also work for schools, leisure centres and businesses, so if you care for a building such as Gunthorpe CofE Primary School, changing-room showers can be repaired in place too.

Our hiring checklist

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used. For a rural address like Gunthorpe, we plan the journey in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring everything needed for the shower tray repair, so there’s no second trip.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
