How we handle shower tray repair in Pilsley
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. If you are dealing with a damaged area around the waste and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can help, whatever the material.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we’re called out for in Pilsley
Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A crack across the base
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chips on the edges
- Damage from a refit or building work
What your quote should include

- If travel is included in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long it needs to cure
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Check the seal every few months
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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.

Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Pilsley: your questions answered
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Pilsley included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
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.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
