Shower tray repair at your home in Chilton
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips or cracks by the plughole, in enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Chilton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

- Plumbing leaks under the tray

- Ceramic
- Cast iron
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Chilton questions
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Oxfordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Usually, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Ventilate the room after showers
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

What affects the price in Chilton
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
