The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

We check the tray is firmly supported and find 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 whole tray gets a new finish.
The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the following day.

Shower tray repair in Checkley without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for scuffs and light scratches and chipped corners or rims, across acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

A tray that moves underfoot
Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

Cast iron
Acrylic
Ceramic
Stone resin
Enamelled steel

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

What affects the price in Checkley

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Checkley. The price comes down to:

Where the damage is and how we get to it
What the surface is made of
Whether we combine several jobs
How many areas need work

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed price

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

Something in shot to show the size
Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
What it’s made of, if you know
Details of any past repairs

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
