Trusted shower tray repair in Chelsfield

Shower tray repair in Chelsfield without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Whether it’s a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can typically put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Chelsfield. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Any details about the material

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

10 questions to ask before you book

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

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

Repairs by material

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.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
