Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Chartway Street. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Most customers in Chartway Street get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Chartway Street

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips caused during fitting

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Chartway Street: your questions answered

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Chartway Street?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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 I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you come to Chartway Street?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Chartway Street from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
