How we handle shower tray repair in Tunstall
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Common call-outs are for movement when you stand on it and snagging damage in a new bathroom, in ceramic, stone resin and acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

FAQs for Tunstall
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Tunstall?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
When can I use the shower again?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, typically the day after.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- 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. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
