Shower tray repair in Chellaston

Shower tray repair at your home in Chellaston

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. If you’re dealing with chipped corners or rims and a damaged area around the waste, we can typically put it right, on ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Your questions about shower tray repair in Chellaston

How long before I can shower?

You will get the exact time when we finish, normally the day after.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing 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. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Chellaston?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chellaston

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Get a moving tray checked

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Chellaston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Chellaston, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
