What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice
Shower tray repair at your home in Swarkestone
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. If you’re dealing with a damaged area around the waste and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can generally put it right, on acrylic, cast iron and stone resin alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

What else we do in Swarkestone
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Questions from Swarkestone
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are there extra charges for Swarkestone?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you work in Swarkestone?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Swarkestone. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Derbyshire.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Do you need shower tray repair in Swarkestone?
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What affects the price in Swarkestone
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
