About our shower tray repair in Duffield

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We are frequently asked to fix a crack across the base and a dull, stained or worn surface, across ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Questions from Duffield

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Duffield

If you manage property in Duffield, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Duffield

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

Common problems we fix in Duffield

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Common reasons people in Duffield contact us include:

  • A crack across the base
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Repair or replace in Duffield?

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. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
