About our shower tray repair in Markham Vale

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. If you are dealing with a tray that flexes and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Markham Vale and across Derbyshire.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Markham Vale

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Markham Vale, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Get a moving tray checked

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Common questions in Markham Vale

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?

We cover the entire UK, including Markham Vale and the rest of Derbyshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your S44 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
