Shower Tray Repair in Sharpstone Street
Damaged shower tray in Sharpstone Street? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.

What happens on the day
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 the room is left clean and tidy.

- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What else we do in Sharpstone Street
Your questions about shower tray repair in Sharpstone Street
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, generally the day after.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sharpstone Street use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Do you need shower tray repair in Sharpstone Street?
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Damage around the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Damage from a refit or building work
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- When it can be used again
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price covers travel
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.

Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Ceramic

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Check the seal every few months
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Repair or replace in Sharpstone Street?
A new shower tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sharpstone Street. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
