About our shower tray repair in North Gate
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you’re dealing with scratches in the surface and a tray that flexes, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in North Gate
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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Store bottles off the tray
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
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.
Questions from North Gate
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What else we do in North Gate
How the visit works
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 typically 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 whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
