How we handle shower tray repair in Chipping Warden

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Typical jobs include a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips or cracks by the plughole, across stone resin, acrylic and ceramic.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in Chipping Warden

Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Landlord and trade work in Chipping Warden

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

FAQs for Chipping Warden

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can you resurface a whole tray?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you work in Chipping Warden?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Chipping Warden from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

What we are called out for in Chipping Warden

Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

Materials we repair

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
