Shower tray repair at your home in Alstonefield
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. We regularly repair enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks running from the waste and a tray that flexes.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alstonefield as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Get a moving tray checked
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Alstonefield: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Derbyshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Alstonefield. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Alstonefield. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
