How we handle shower tray repair in Darnall
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about a cracked shower tray and movement when you stand on it.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Sheffield.

Repairing versus replacing in Darnall
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Darnall. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your S9 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When to call us in Darnall
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Damage around the waste
- A tray that flexes
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A cracked shower tray
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What preparation is included
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Darnall questions
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work in Darnall?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Darnall from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
Can I fix it myself?
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 pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
