Common questions in Sturmer
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Sturmer?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.
Shower tray repair at your home in Sturmer
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We’re often asked to fix chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, in enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Landlord and trade work in Sturmer
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
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.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use the extractor fan
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Advice
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

What affects the price in Sturmer
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 typically the cheaper route.
