How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Chells. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Chells questions

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Do you come to Chells?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Chells. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Can you quote from photos?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Work for landlords and builders

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

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Chells, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
