Need shower tray repair in Matlock Bath?

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Shower tray repair at your home in Matlock Bath

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. We’re often asked to fix chips on the edges and a damaged area around the waste, on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to compare quotes

Matlock Bath: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Derbyshire.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Matlock Bath?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DE4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Matlock Bath. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
