Shower tray repair across Derby: what to expect
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We’re often asked to fix cracks running from the waste and chips caused during fitting, on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel.
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- 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.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
What you will pay
Our shower tray repair starts 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One price list for the entire UK
- A fixed quote before you book
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Common problems we fix in Derby
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, normally along the edges or by the waste.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A crack across the base
- A tray that flexes
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Derby. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Repairing versus replacing
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place.
Comparing quotes
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

- Whether the price covers travel

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Derby: your questions answered
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How long before I can shower?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
