Shower Tray Repair for New Gate homes
Shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing at your home in New Gate, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- A tray that flexes
- Staining and dullness across the tray
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Store bottles off the tray
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
About our shower tray repair in New Gate
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. We’re often asked to fix cracks running from the waste and a damaged area around the waste, on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in New Gate as everywhere else we work.

When to call us in New Gate
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
Clients usually contact us about:
- A cracked shower tray
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage around the waste
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
What your quote should include
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether a trained technician does the job
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire shower tray
Most clients in New Gate get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One price list for the whole UK
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Landlord and trade work in New Gate
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
