What a repair cannot fix

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

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Materials we work on in Darnhill

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

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Darnhill

A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage

Darnhill: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens next?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
