About our shower tray repair in Fernilee

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 does not come back. If you’re dealing with a cracked shower tray and chips on the edges, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Fernilee

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Look out for these signs:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A cracked shower tray

Before booking anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

For landlords and businesses

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

If you manage property in Fernilee, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Fernilee

Which areas do you work in?

All of Derbyshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How long before I can shower?

Generally the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

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

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
