Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
How we handle shower tray repair in Darnhall
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 repair lasts. We work on cast iron, ceramic and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about scuffs and light scratches and a crack across the base.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cheshire West and Chester.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What else we do in Darnhall
Should you replace it?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Darnhall questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Are there extra charges for Darnhall?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How long before I can shower?
Normally the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
What affects the price in Darnhall
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
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.
How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Report any creaking or movement early
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
