About our shower tray repair in Fritchley
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Whether it’s a dull, stained or worn surface and a cracked shower tray, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access

Common questions in Fritchley
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Fritchley and the rest of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Landlord and trade work in Fritchley
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fritchley as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Repairing versus replacing in Fritchley
A new shower tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
