About our shower tray repair in Gushmere
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. We’re frequently asked to fix scratches in the surface and staining and dullness across the tray, in acrylic, stone resin and ceramic.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Gushmere questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Gushmere?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time on the day, usually the next day.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Landlord and trade work in Gushmere
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Advice
Signs you need shower tray repair in Gushmere
Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scuffs and light scratches
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price covers travel
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gushmere. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most clients in Gushmere get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Trays cracked in several places
