Shower tray repair in New Barlborough without replacing anything

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. We regularly repair cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a dull, stained or worn surface and a damaged area around the waste.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Derbyshire.

Common questions in New Barlborough

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to New Barlborough. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in New Barlborough

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

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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

Repair or replace in New Barlborough?
