Shower tray repair in Derbyshire Dales

Shower tray repair in Derbyshire Dales, done in place

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for scratches in the surface and movement when you stand on it, across enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • The type of damage

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.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Derbyshire Dales: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Derbyshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

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

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.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
