Shower tray repair for Dethick homes

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Shower tray repair in Dethick, done in place

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. If you are dealing with a tray that flexes and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can help, on cast iron, stone resin and ceramic alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How we price shower tray repair

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs

Most customers in Dethick get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dethick

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

FAQs for Dethick

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Dethick and the rest of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Does someone need to be in?

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

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

When can I use the shower again?

You will get the exact time when we finish, generally the following day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Dethick

Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that flexes
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips caused during fitting

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

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

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
