About our shower tray repair in Rosliston

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. Common call-outs are for scratches from cleaning or grit and chips or cracks by the plughole, on stone resin, ceramic and cast iron.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Rosliston

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Rosliston

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that flexes
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chipped corners or rims

10 questions to ask before booking

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Questions from Rosliston

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Typically, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you cover the whole of Derbyshire?

We cover the whole UK, including Rosliston and the rest of Derbyshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
