What else we do in Simmondley
Simmondley: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
If you are in Simmondley and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Should you replace it?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
When to call us in Simmondley
Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Edge chips from dropped bottles

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, 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.
