DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Chandler's Cross

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

What we’re called out for in Chandler's Cross

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A crack across the base
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips caused during fitting

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What preparation is included
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Chandler's Cross. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Chandler's Cross: your questions answered

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Do you come to Chandler's Cross?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Chandler's Cross from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
