DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What else we do in Starkholmes
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Starkholmes. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Starkholmes
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A cracked shower tray
- A tray that flexes
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
Comparing quotes
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaking waste fittings
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Starkholmes
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
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 is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Starkholmes
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Starkholmes?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Do you cover Starkholmes?
We do. Technicians travel to Starkholmes from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derbyshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
