Chilton: your questions answered
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
What affects the price in Chilton
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Chilton. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book with us
- One price list for the whole UK
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Typically one visit, start to finish
Read our prices page.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
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 or gets worse.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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 we match the gloss when we repair them.
