If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. We are often asked to fix scuffs and light scratches and a cracked shower tray, on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Chelsworth: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

When can I use the shower again?

Usually the next day. We will confirm before we leave.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What affects the price in Chelsworth

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Landlord and trade work in Chelsworth

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
