Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Shower tray repair in Wirksworth, done in place
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Typical jobs include a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a damaged area around the waste, on acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
Different materials, different repairs
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. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once

Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
