How we handle shower tray repair in Lullington
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We work on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are scuffs and light scratches and staining and dullness across the tray.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Common problems we fix in Lullington
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, normally along the edges or by the waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Movement when you stand on it
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Your questions about shower tray repair in Lullington
Do you work in Lullington?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Lullington for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
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.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?
We cover the entire UK, including Lullington and the rest of Derbyshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How long does it take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park
