Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Ladygrove, Derbyshire
Local shower tray repair for Ladygrove: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chips on the edges
What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Shower tray repair at your home in Ladygrove
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We work on stone resin, cast iron and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are chips or cracks by the plughole and chips on the edges.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ladygrove
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ladygrove use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Ladygrove. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
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.
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Check the seal every few months
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
