About our shower tray repair in Heron Cross
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Typical jobs include edge chips from dropped bottles and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, across stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Heron Cross questions
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you cover the whole of Stoke-on-Trent?
Everywhere in the UK, Heron Cross included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Heron Cross?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Heron Cross. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Heron Cross, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Common problems we fix in Heron Cross
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Movement when you stand on it
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chipped corners or rims
- Scuffs and light scratches
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- If travel is included in the price
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
