Shower tray repair near Chidham

Shower tray repair in Chidham without replacing anything

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Whether it’s a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and damage around the waste, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can

For landlords and businesses

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

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What we’re called out for in Chidham

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A crack across the base
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A tray that flexes

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Chidham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

For a price in Chidham, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Chidham

Will it make a mess?

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

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

How much does shower tray repair cost in Chidham?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your PO18 postcode.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
