Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use the extractor fan
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Repair or replace in Glapwell?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Glapwell

- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Chips on the edges
- Movement when you stand on it
- Cracks running from the waste

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare

Landlord and trade work in Glapwell
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 is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Glapwell as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Glapwell. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
