Uppertown: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Uppertown?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

What else we do in Uppertown
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
What affects the price in Uppertown
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Uppertown, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Uppertown
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Uppertown as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Derbyshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Uppertown
- Stone resin

When to call us in Uppertown
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A crack across the base
- Chips caused during fitting
