Shower tray repair in Chesham without replacing anything

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. If you’re dealing with a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and scratches from cleaning or grit, we can typically put it right, on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

For landlords and businesses

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

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 generally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

When to call us in Chesham

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A crack across the base
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Damage around the waste
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What prep work is covered

Chesham: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

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

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

How long before I can shower?

Typically the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Chesham?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
