Shower tray repair in Chipping

Shower tray repair in Chipping, done in place

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish. We work on stone resin, cast iron and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are a damaged area around the waste and edge chips from dropped bottles.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Chipping

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scuffs and light scratches

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray generally means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

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.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hertfordshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Chipping: your questions answered

What areas do you cover?

All of Hertfordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Chipping?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
