How we handle shower tray repair in Chilworth Old Village
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are scratches from cleaning or grit and damage around the waste.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

Related advice
Chilworth Old Village: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally the day after. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. There’s no obligation to book.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Chilworth Old Village, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
When we’d advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
What affects the price in Chilworth Old Village
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Chilworth Old Village. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Chilworth Old Village, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Chilworth Old Village
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
