What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Branston

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

Common problems we fix in Branston

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Scuffs and light scratches

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about shower tray repair in Branston

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you cover the entire of Staffordshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Branston included. Travel is included in the price.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, typically the following day.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Should you replace it?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Branston. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Branston. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
