How do you find where a Stoke shower is leaking from?

Sequential dye-test — cover the tray, run water only from the head, only from the fill valve, then only around the perimeter. Isolates the source within an hour on most Stoke jobs.

Can you repair a cracked tray without replacing it?

For hairline cracks in acrylic trays, sometimes — a glass-fibre repair kit lasts 3-5 years. For stone-resin trays and larger cracks, replacement is the honest answer on Stoke jobs.

Do you fix the ceiling damage below?

We can — plasterboard cut-out, replaster and skim as a follow-up phase once the leak is proven dry. Standard on Stoke restoration jobs.

How long does a repair take?

1-2 days for silicone or trap; 3-5 days if tanking has to come off and the tiles are re-set on a Stoke job.

Are you fully insured for work in Stoke?

Yes — we hold full public liability cover and every job in Stoke comes with a written workmanship guarantee.

Can you just re-seal around our bath?

Yes — a fresh sanitary-grade silicone re-seal on a Stoke bath or tray takes around an hour and is usually fixed-price per perimeter.

Leaks, re-seals, tile and grout repairs, shower swaps and quick fixes.

Call 01782 901390 Request a Quote

A shower tray leak in a Stoke home has four common causes: the waste trap seal, the tray-to-tile silicone joint, the tanking behind the tiles, or a hairline crack in the tray itself. Diagnosing which one takes 30 minutes of pressure testing; guessing wrong takes weeks.

We isolate each source at survey, dye-test where needed, and quote the specific repair — not a blanket "replace the shower" scope. Most Stoke leaks are a trap, silicone or tanking fix, not a full re-tile.

When Stoke homeowners ask us about bathroom repairs, the first thing we look at is the room itself.
