How we handle shower tray repair in Speed Gate
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. Whether it’s a damaged area around the waste and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Speed Gate. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Landlord and trade work in Speed Gate
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Common problems we fix in Speed Gate
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that flexes

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Speed Gate. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Speed Gate
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Speed Gate. Our prices are the same everywhere.
