Trusted shower tray repair in Chapelfields

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Shower tray repair in Chapelfields without replacing anything

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. If you’re dealing with a crack across the base and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can help.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Chapelfields and across Coventry.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

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.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. 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.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Chapelfields: your questions answered

Is my repair covered?

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

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Typically, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

Will you leave a mess?

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

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Common problems we fix in Chapelfields

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that flexes
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Coventry and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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

Should you replace it?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
