  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your ST6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How we handle shower tray repair in Brown Edge

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Common call-outs are for movement when you stand on it and cracks running from the waste, on acrylic, cast iron and stone resin.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Brown Edge and across Stoke-on-Trent.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, 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.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common questions in Brown Edge

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
