Trusted shower tray repair in Sawley

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Sawley. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Shower tray repair at your home in Sawley

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We are frequently asked to fix chips or cracks by the plughole and chipped corners or rims, across enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Derbyshire.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

What we can’t put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Sawley questions

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

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.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Are there extra charges for Sawley?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Repair or replace in Sawley?

Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
