Shower tray repair in Somercotes without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We work on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about chipped corners or rims and a tray that flexes.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Repair or replace in Somercotes?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Common problems we fix in Somercotes
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Damage around the waste
- Chipped corners or rims
Before you book anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How soon you can use it again
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
FAQs for Somercotes
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
