Shower tray repair at your home in Kedleston
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. If you’re dealing with a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What affects the price in Kedleston
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
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.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Landlord and trade work in Kedleston
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kedleston use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we are called out for in Kedleston
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
Comparing quotes
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Questions from Kedleston
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
