About our shower tray repair in Chelvey

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Common call-outs are for a crack across the base and chipped corners or rims, across cast iron, stone resin and acrylic.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

FAQs for Chelvey

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you work in Chelvey?

We do. We send a technician to Chelvey for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

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

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Chelvey

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

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Chelvey. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BS48 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
