When to call us in Chesser
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Chips on the edges
- Damage around the waste
- Chips caused during fitting

Chesser questions
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Chesser?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your EH14 postcode.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Chesser. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Report any creaking or movement early
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Trays cracked in several places

Materials we work on in Chesser
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
