How we handle shower tray repair in Carsington
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We work on ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about scratches from cleaning or grit and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Derbyshire.

How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access

Your questions about shower tray repair in Carsington
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you work in Carsington?
We do. We send a technician to Carsington for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
For anyone letting property in or around Carsington, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. 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.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
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.
