Shower tray repair near Wolstanton

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Shower tray repair in Wolstanton without replacing anything

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. Typical jobs include cracks running from the waste and damage from a refit or building work, in cast iron, stone resin and ceramic.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from Wolstanton

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

When to call us in Wolstanton

Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that flexes

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

We don’t add extras on the day. 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.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Landlord and trade work in Wolstanton

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wolstanton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Staffordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
