Do you need shower tray repair in Stoke?
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A crack across the base
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price covers travel
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

The process
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Questions from Stoke
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are there extra charges for Stoke?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
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
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stoke as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What affects the price in Stoke

- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
