Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, 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.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Store bottles off the tray
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Common problems we fix in Elvaston
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A damaged area around the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Who turns up on the day
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaking waste fittings
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Repairing versus replacing in Elvaston
A new shower tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Nearby places to Elvaston
Also in Elvaston
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Derbyshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
