Shower tray repair in Mapperley without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. We work on stone resin, ceramic and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about a cracked shower tray and a dull, stained or worn surface.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Mapperley, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When to call us in Mapperley
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Chips on the edges
What to look for in a quote

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Point us to the nearest place to park

FAQs for Mapperley
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Derbyshire.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Mapperley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Use the extractor fan
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
