Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Peak Forest, Derbyshire
Our repair technicians come to Peak Forest for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Damage from a refit or building work
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 frequently lifts.
Shower tray repair in Peak Forest without replacing anything
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. We are frequently asked to fix scratches in the surface and a crack across the base, on stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Check the seal every few months
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

What we can’t put right

- Trays cracked in several places

Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Keep a parking space free if you can
