Shower tray repair in Chaul End

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

How we handle shower tray repair in Chaul End

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We work on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron, and common reasons people contact us are edge chips from dropped bottles and scuffs and light scratches.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repair or replace in Chaul End?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

  • Colour-matched on site
  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

When to call us in Chaul End

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Damage around the waste
  • A crack across the base
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Movement when you stand on it

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Questions from Chaul End

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you come to Chaul End?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Chaul End. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Chaul End?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

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

To keep it looking its best:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use the extractor fan

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
