Trusted shower tray repair in Chalton

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Chalton. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • The material, if you know it

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Shower tray repair in Chalton, done in place

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 does not come back. We regularly repair cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and people most often call us about chips caused during fitting and damage around the waste.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Common questions in Chalton

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Bedford Borough. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Common problems we fix in Chalton

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.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A cracked shower tray

What to look for in a quote

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
