What we are called out for in Albert Village

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chipped corners or rims

10 questions to ask before booking

Shower tray repair in Albert Village without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. We are frequently asked to fix a cracked shower tray and damage from a refit or building work, across acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Albert Village

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Ceramic

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

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Albert Village. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

Albert Village: your questions answered

Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?

All of Derbyshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do you work in Albert Village?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Albert Village from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How long before I can shower?

Normally the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derbyshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
