Signs you need shower tray repair in Chalkwell
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A cracked shower tray
- Chips on the edges
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scuffs and light scratches

Shower tray repair at your home in Chalkwell
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. We work on cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the edges and damage around the waste.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

What else we do in Chalkwell
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Common questions in Chalkwell
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Report any creaking or movement early
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. 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.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

- No need to remove anything
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- No extra charge for your area
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
