How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray broken in more than one place
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
What affects the price in Oulton
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Questions from Oulton
Do you come to Oulton?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Oulton and the rest of Staffordshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Usually, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Oulton?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oulton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
