Shower tray repair in Chalton

Common questions in Chalton

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How long does it take to cure?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LU4 postcode.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

How we handle shower tray repair in Chalton

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. If you’re dealing with scuffs and light scratches and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can normally put it right.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  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 clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

10 questions to ask before you book

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron

What affects the price in Chalton

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
