DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Shower tray repair in Short Heath, done in place
We repair a lot of shower trays. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. We’re often asked to fix cracks running from the waste and chipped corners or rims, on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We leave the room clean 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.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- A tray broken in more than one place

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
If you manage property in Short Heath, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
If you’re in Short Heath and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
