Questions from Park Gate

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take 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.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Park Gate. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

Most customers in Park Gate get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
