What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Questions from Blackbrook
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Blackbrook and the rest of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Ventilate the room after showers
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
How it works
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 we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.
Advice
What we are called out for in Blackbrook
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What aftercare is recommended
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How your room will be protected
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Blackbrook. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
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 price, not a guess.
