Shower tray repair for Chipstead homes

Shower tray repair in Chipstead without replacing anything

If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. We work on ceramic, acrylic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a tray that flexes and scratches in the surface.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

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

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Chipstead

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

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

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Chipstead: your questions answered

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you come to Chipstead?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Chipstead and the rest of Greater London. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Trays cracked in several places

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Chipstead

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
