Shower Tray Repair in Talke Pits
Shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing in Talke Pits, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse away soap after showering
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
How we handle shower tray repair in Talke Pits
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We are often asked to fix chipped corners or rims and damage around the waste, in enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Questions from Talke Pits
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Staffordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
