How we handle shower tray repair in Chalvey

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. Whether it’s chips or cracks by the plughole and a cracked shower tray, we can generally put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

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 are filled and matched to the surface.

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Everything repaired in place

Chalvey: your questions answered

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Chalvey. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

When a repair is not the answer

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

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Chalvey

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How to look after the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Chalvey

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips on the edges
  • A crack across the base
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
