What else we do in Shardlow
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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.
Common questions in Shardlow
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Shardlow.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we are called out for in Shardlow
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

- Damage from a refit or building work
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A cracked shower tray
- Chipped corners or rims
What to look for in a quote

- Whether they match the colour on site
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Report any creaking or movement early
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
