Shower tray repair in Chalbury Common without replacing anything
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. We’re frequently asked to fix damage around the waste and scratches from cleaning or grit, across enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What affects the price in Chalbury Common
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Repairs by material
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.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally 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 check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Common questions in Chalbury Common
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Chalbury Common?
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.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
