Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Ilkeston
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DE7 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Common problems we fix in Ilkeston
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Customers normally contact us about:
- A tray that flexes
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Damage around the waste
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day

Questions from Ilkeston
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Ilkeston.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Materials we work on in Ilkeston
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ilkeston use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use the extractor fan
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Get a moving tray checked
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
