Shower Tray Repair in Hardwick Wood
We travel to Hardwick Wood for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- A crack across the base
- A damaged area around the waste
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
About our shower tray repair in Hardwick Wood
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. Our repair technicians work on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a damaged area around the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hardwick Wood
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hardwick Wood use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Hardwick Wood: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Are there extra charges for Hardwick Wood?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Derbyshire.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Usually, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
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.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
When to call us in Hardwick Wood
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A cracked shower tray
- Damage around the waste
