Shower tray repair in Drakelow without replacing anything
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. We regularly repair ceramic, acrylic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from a refit or building work and chips on the edges.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Questions from Drakelow
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Drakelow included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Common problems we fix in Drakelow
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Movement when you stand on it
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chips caused during fitting
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What prep work is covered
- How changes to the job are handled
What affects the price in Drakelow
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Get a moving tray checked
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Drakelow
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
If you manage property in Drakelow, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Most customers in Drakelow get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
