Shower tray repair in Stoke

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Shower tray repair in Stoke, done in place

We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. We’re frequently asked to fix a tray that flexes and chips or cracks by the plughole, on cast iron, acrylic and stone resin.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common questions in Stoke

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stoke

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Stoke. The price reflects:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When we’d advise against a repair

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Common problems we fix in Stoke

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

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

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches in the surface

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
