Shower tray repair in West Studdal, done in place
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for a crack across the base and scratches in the surface, across enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in West Studdal as everywhere else we work.

How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Your questions about shower tray repair in West Studdal
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover West Studdal?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to West Studdal from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
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.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
What we’re called out for in West Studdal
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Damage around the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
Questions to ask before you book
- When it can be used again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What preparation is included
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
