Shower tray repair in Shottle, done in place
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are damage from a refit or building work and scratches from cleaning or grit.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shottle as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
What we cannot put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Shottle
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Check the seal every few months
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Cracks often start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DE56 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Shottle
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How long does it take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
