Shower tray repair in Chickward, done in place

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. If you’re dealing with chips caused during fitting and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

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

What affects the price in Chickward

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Chickward. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Landlord and trade work in Chickward

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

FAQs for Chickward

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

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

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
