How we handle shower tray repair in Gutch Common
If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. We regularly repair ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are damage around the waste and a tray that flexes.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What else we do in Gutch Common
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

What we are called out for in Gutch Common
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

- A damaged area around the waste

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
