Shower tray repair at your home in Chilton
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We work on enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are staining and dullness across the tray and scuffs and light scratches.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaking waste fittings
- Trays cracked in several places
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- 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 clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For anyone letting property in or around Chilton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Repair or replace in Chilton?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- Everything repaired in place
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
