Repairing versus replacing in Smalldale

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Smalldale

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. 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

When to call us in Smalldale

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips on the edges
  • A cracked shower tray

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

FAQs for Smalldale

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Do you come to Smalldale?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Smalldale and the rest of Derbyshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
