Trusted shower tray repair in Chilgrove

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Store bottles off the tray

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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

Shower tray repair in Chilgrove, done in place

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. We regularly repair acrylic, stone resin and cast iron, and people most often call us about snagging damage in a new bathroom and chips or cracks by the plughole.

In a village like Chilgrove, many shower trays are in cottages and barn conversions, where timber floors can move. We check the tray is solid before repairing a crack.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Chilgrove and across West Sussex.

What shower tray repair costs

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you’re in Chilgrove and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Chilgrove

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

Customers typically contact us about:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chipped corners or rims

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Replacement in Chilgrove means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.

Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • 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 before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

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

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included. For a rural address like Chilgrove, we plan the journey in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the shower tray repair comes with us in one trip.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space clear if you can

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
