Shower tray repair in Chacewater without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. We work on enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are movement when you stand on it and chips or cracks by the plughole.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Landlord and trade work in Chacewater

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chacewater as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we’re called out for in Chacewater

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.

Common reasons people in Chacewater contact us include:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips on the edges
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Before booking anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Chacewater customers choose us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Work done at your home or business

See our pricing.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Questions from Chacewater

Do you reseal the tray as well?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Are there extra charges for Chacewater?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

When can I use the shower again?

Typically the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can
