How we handle shower tray repair in Chalkhouse Green
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 repair lasts. Our technicians work on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are chips or cracks by the plughole and staining and dullness across the tray.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Chalkhouse Green and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

What we’re called out for in Chalkhouse Green

The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- Chipped corners or rims
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Damage from a refit or building work
Questions to ask before you book

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
