Your questions about shower tray repair in Horsley
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Derby.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Landlord and trade work in Horsley
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repair or replace in Horsley?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Plumbing leaks under the tray

What affects the price in Horsley
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most clients in Horsley 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.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Store bottles off the tray
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
