Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic

What we are called out for in Buckland Hollow

Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

Look out for these signs:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Damage around the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips caused during fitting

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How your room will be protected
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Repairing versus replacing in Buckland Hollow

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Can I fix it myself?

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

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.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Common questions in Buckland Hollow

Do you cover Buckland Hollow?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Buckland Hollow and the rest of Derbyshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Derbyshire.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How long does it take to cure?

We will give you the curing time on the day, typically the following day.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
