How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use the extractor fan
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Questions from Tideswell
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Tideswell?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover the entire of Derbyshire?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Tideswell. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, normally by the following day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
