Shower tray repair in Swadlincote without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Typical jobs include chips or cracks by the plughole and chips on the edges, in enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Swadlincote and across Derbyshire.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Swadlincote questions

What areas do you cover?

All of Derbyshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

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 I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Swadlincote

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips on the edges
  • A crack across the base
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Before booking anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Swadlincote?

Replacing a tray usually means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
