Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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 normally cheaper.

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s chips caused during fitting and a crack across the base, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use the extractor fan
- Get a moving tray checked
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

FAQs for Buxton
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Buxton?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your SK17 postcode.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Common problems we fix in Buxton
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, normally along the edges or by the waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A crack across the base
- Damage around the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the colour is matched
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who will actually do the work
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Buxton. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire shower tray
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Landlord and trade work in Buxton
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we do, step by step

- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
