Shower tray repair at your home in Bolsover
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you are dealing with chips or cracks by the plughole and staining and dullness across the tray, we can help.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Repairing versus replacing in Bolsover

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bolsover. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
