Shower tray repair in Scholar Green, done in place

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We work on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are a damaged area around the waste and chips caused during fitting.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Staffordshire.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Scholar Green, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Scholar Green

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our pricing.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, 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. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Scholar Green

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically along the edges or by the waste.

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that flexes
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A damaged area around the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

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. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
