How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

About our shower tray repair in Aldercar
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s scratches from cleaning or grit and a crack across the base, we can help, on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Questions from Aldercar
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How long does it take to cure?
We will give you the curing time on the day, generally the next day.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Aldercar
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
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 matters when someone is living in the home.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
