Shower tray repair in Hilton, done in place
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Whether it’s a crack across the base and damage from a refit or building work, we can normally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Repairing versus replacing in Hilton
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Questions from Hilton
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How long does it take to cure?
Generally the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Hilton and the rest of Derbyshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray broken in more than one place
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Do you need shower tray repair in Hilton?
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
People usually call us after spotting one of these:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips on the edges
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How your room will be protected
- If travel is included in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
What affects the price in Hilton
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most clients in Hilton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
