Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Shower tray repair in Low Gate, done in place
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our technicians work on ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic, and people most often call us about damage around the waste and chips on the edges.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Low Gate
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Repairing versus replacing in Low Gate
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Low Gate. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
