Shower tray repair in Cinderhill

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

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.

Shower tray repair in Cinderhill without replacing anything

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Our technicians work on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a damaged area around the waste and a tray that flexes.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

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.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

For a price in Cinderhill, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why Cinderhill customers choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our prices page.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

FAQs for Cinderhill

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Cinderhill?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DE56 postcode.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

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.

Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?

The whole UK, including all of Derbyshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
