How we handle shower tray repair in Darley Bridge
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Typical jobs include damage from a refit or building work and cracks running from the waste, on stone resin, cast iron and acrylic.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Darley Bridge, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
When to call us in Darley Bridge
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A dull, stained or worn surface
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again

Your questions about shower tray repair in Darley Bridge
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
