How we handle shower tray repair in West Handley

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Common call-outs are for a crack across the base and scratches from cleaning or grit, on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in West Handley and across Derbyshire.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Handley use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You do not 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
