Kidsgrove questions
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Kidsgrove?
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.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Kidsgrove.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Kidsgrove, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, 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.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- 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.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
