Shower tray repair in Darmsden without replacing anything

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Store bottles off the tray
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
What affects the price in Darmsden
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IP6 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

The process
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price

What we work on
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
