Shower tray repair in Braddocks Hay without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are chips on the edges and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Braddocks Hay questions

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Braddocks Hay?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you cover the whole of Staffordshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Braddocks Hay included. Travel is included in the price.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Usually, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Braddocks Hay

  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Do you need shower tray repair in Braddocks Hay?

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips on the edges
  • Chips caused during fitting

Comparing quotes

  • How soon you can use it again
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work

Our hiring checklist

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
