Shower tray repair in Staplers 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 tell you if that is the case. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about scratches in the surface and damage around the waste.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Staplers

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairing versus replacing in Staplers

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common questions in Staplers

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you cover Staplers?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Staplers from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Staplers. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Staplers. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
