- Repairs from £95
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price

Related advice
Do you need shower tray repair in Darnick?
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chips on the edges
- Movement when you stand on it
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually do the work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- When it can be used again

Common questions in Darnick
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that moves underfoot
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Stone resin

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Darnick, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Darnick
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
