Shower tray repair in Caverswall without replacing anything
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Common call-outs are for damage from a refit or building work and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, in ceramic, stone resin and cast iron.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Staffordshire.

When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

DIY kit or professional 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What else we do in Caverswall
Landlords, agents and businesses in Caverswall
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Caverswall: your questions answered
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Related advice
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check the seal every few months
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
