Need shower tray repair in Chiltington?

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

About our shower tray repair in Chiltington

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Our technicians work on ceramic, acrylic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and scuffs and light scratches.

Chiltington questions

Do you cover Chiltington?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Chiltington and the rest of East Sussex. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Chiltington?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Chiltington?

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that flexes
  • Scuffs and light scratches

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Chiltington

If you manage property in Chiltington, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Check the seal every few months

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
