About our shower tray repair in Gunton
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Typical jobs include staining and dullness across the tray and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Gunton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Gunton: your questions answered
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Gunton included. Travel is included in the price.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
