Common questions in Edlaston
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you come to Edlaston?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Edlaston and the rest of Derbyshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Derbyshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Are there extra charges for Edlaston?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
How we handle shower tray repair in Edlaston
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. Typical jobs include a dull, stained or worn surface and a tray that flexes, across ceramic, cast iron and stone resin.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Repairing versus replacing in Edlaston
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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 photos.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
Landlord and trade work in Edlaston
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
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 matters when someone is living in the home.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Edlaston. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
