How we handle shower tray repair in Chapel Knapp

We repair a lot of shower trays. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. Our technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are movement when you stand on it and scratches from cleaning or grit.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Chapel Knapp

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our prices page.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

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

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Use the extractor fan

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

FAQs for Chapel Knapp

How much does shower tray repair cost in Chapel Knapp?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

How long does it take to cure?

You will get the exact time when we finish, usually the following day.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When to call us in Chapel Knapp

Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
