Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Mickley, Derbyshire
Problem with your shower tray in Mickley? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Movement when you stand on it
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How we handle shower tray repair in Mickley
We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We’re frequently asked to fix a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and staining and dullness across the tray, in ceramic, stone resin and cast iron.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
When to call us in Mickley
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A tray that flexes
- Damage around the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Cracks running from the waste
What your quote should include

What affects the price in Mickley
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Mickley. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Related advice
Mickley: your questions answered
Do you work in Mickley?
We do. We send a technician to Mickley for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
