FAQs for Chilton Foliat

Is the work guaranteed?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

When to call us in Chilton Foliat

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Our hiring checklist

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Chilton Foliat. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

Materials we work on in Chilton Foliat

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

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

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

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

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