Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
How we handle shower tray repair in Osmaston
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. We regularly repair acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are chips or cracks by the plughole and chips on the edges.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have a window or extractor fan available

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you are in Osmaston and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Osmaston
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
