What affects the price in Staple
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Staple. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Staple, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Staple questions
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Do you work in Staple?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Staple. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Repair or replace in Staple?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Staple
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Store bottles off the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Report any creaking or movement early
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
