Shower tray repair at your home in Chappel
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. If you are dealing with scuffs and light scratches and staining and dullness across the tray, we can help, on ceramic, stone resin and acrylic alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Landlord and trade work in Chappel
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chappel as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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 can be filled and matched.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Chappel. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Chappel: your questions answered
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Chappel included. Travel is included in the price.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
