Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Rocester, Staffordshire
Our technicians come to Rocester for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Movement when you stand on it
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
How we handle shower tray repair in Rocester
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 tell you if that’s the case. Typical jobs include chips or cracks by the plughole and chips on the edges, in acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Plumbing leaks under the tray

Rocester questions
How long before I can shower?
You will get the exact time when we finish, normally the day after.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Rocester?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
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.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
What affects the price in Rocester
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos

Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What we’re called out for in Rocester
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A tray that flexes
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Damage from a refit or building work
What to look for in a quote
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Aftercare advice
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How changes to the job are handled
Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Rocester. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
