Shower tray repair in Chelford without replacing anything

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. If you are dealing with chipped corners or rims and a damaged area around the waste, we can help, on enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic alike.

For a rural address like Chelford, tell us about access and parking, and we’ll plan the visit around it.

Common problems we fix in Chelford

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips on the edges
  • A damaged area around the waste

Facilities teams at buildings such as Chelford CofE Primary School can book us for changing-room showers too.

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on. Somewhere as small as Chelford, access is typically the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

Chelford: your questions answered

Will you travel to Chelford?

Yes, we cover the whole UK, villages included, with the same prices as anywhere else.

Do you work for schools and businesses in Chelford?

Yes. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations and work for schools, leisure centres and businesses. Tell us about access and timings for the building.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. In an older home in a village like Chelford, replacing a shower tray can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.

Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Fixed quotes from pictures

Read our Pricing.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

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