How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Store bottles off the tray

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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

Shower tray repair at your home in Chilton

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you are dealing with a dull, stained or worn surface and damage around the waste, we can help, on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic alike.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we’re called out for in Chilton

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

Common reasons people in Chilton contact us include:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

FAQs for Chilton

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Chilton. Prices do not change with location.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you work in Chilton?

We do. We send a technician to Chilton for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are there extra charges for Chilton?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

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

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chilton

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

For anyone letting property in or around Chilton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
