About our shower tray repair in Upper Midway
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We’re often asked to fix chips or cracks by the plughole and edge chips from dropped bottles, in enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Upper Midway and across Derbyshire.

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

What else we do in Upper Midway
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We make sure the tray does not 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, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Upper Midway, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Get a moving tray checked
- Check the seal every few months
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Do you need shower tray repair in Upper Midway?
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that flexes
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
- Aftercare advice
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Questions from Upper Midway
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Upper Midway?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually 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. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
