Trusted shower tray repair in Belper

Shower tray repair at your home in Belper

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not 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 scratches from cleaning or grit and edge chips from dropped bottles, across cast iron, ceramic and acrylic.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Ceramic

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

What affects the price in Belper

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

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. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When to call us in Belper

Cracks often start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

Common questions in Belper

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
