How we handle shower tray repair in Derrythorpe
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We’re often asked to fix chips or cracks by the plughole and chipped corners or rims, in stone resin, cast iron and acrylic.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Derrythorpe
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Derrythorpe use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Lincolnshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What affects the price in Derrythorpe
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Derrythorpe. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Derrythorpe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, including clearing up.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
If you are in Derrythorpe and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What else we do in Derrythorpe
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
