DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
About our shower tray repair in Chegworth
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. We are frequently asked to fix a cracked shower tray and scratches in the surface, in ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Chegworth. What changes the price is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Questions from Chegworth
Do you cover Chegworth?
We do. Technicians travel to Chegworth from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use the extractor fan
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
