About our shower tray repair in Chalkshire

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. Our repair technicians work on cast iron, enamelled steel and ceramic, and people most often call us about a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chips or cracks by the plughole.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Chalkshire. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Chalkshire

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Typically, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Chalkshire?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Landlord and trade work in Chalkshire

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
