Shower tray repair near Cromford

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Shower tray repair in Cromford, done in place

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. We work on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about scuffs and light scratches and chips on the edges.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Cromford

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Common questions in Cromford

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Do you cover Cromford?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Cromford. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.

Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?

We cover the whole UK, including Cromford and the rest of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

When to call us in Cromford

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Chips on the edges
  • Scuffs and light scratches

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Cromford

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
