  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

Shower tray repair at your home in Stape

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Whether it’s damage from a refit or building work and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can generally put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Stape: your questions answered

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Stape?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

When can I use the shower again?

You will get the exact time when we finish, typically the following day.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you need shower tray repair in Stape?

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A crack across the base
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chipped corners or rims

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No extra charge for your area

See our pricing.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stape

For anyone letting property in or around Stape, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
