Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Questions from Harpur Hill

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Derbyshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Harpur Hill?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you cover Harpur Hill?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Harpur Hill. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

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

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Check the seal every few months

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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 Harpur Hill?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise 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 we price shower tray repair

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

If you are in Harpur Hill and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
