What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

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.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

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.
