Shower tray repair in Staple Tye without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Typical jobs include staining and dullness across the tray and cracks running from the waste, across ceramic, cast iron and acrylic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

When to call us in Staple Tye
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A tray that flexes
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Cracks running from the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if they find more damage
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaking waste fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One visit for most repairs
- One price list for the entire UK
- No need to remove anything

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Staple Tye use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
