What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Emstrey questions
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do you cover the whole of Shropshire?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Emstrey?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Are there extra charges for Emstrey?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Check the seal every few months
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
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 can be filled and matched.
What affects the price in Emstrey
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Emstrey. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
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 will come back with a fixed figure.
Common problems we fix in Emstrey
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long it needs to cure
Repairing versus replacing in Emstrey
A new shower tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
