Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
About our shower tray repair in Chawston
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Common call-outs are for damage from a refit or building work and chipped corners or rims, on cast iron, ceramic and stone resin.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

FAQs for Chawston
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Chawston?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Chawston. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode

- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Store bottles off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Should you replace it?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
