Shower tray repair in Darite without replacing anything

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. If you are dealing with a dull, stained or worn surface and chips on the edges, we can generally put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Darite questions

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Darite?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your PL14 postcode.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.

Are there extra charges for Darite?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When to call us in Darite

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips on the edges
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A cracked shower tray

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Related advice

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PL14 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
