Common problems we fix in Chipstead
Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Chipped corners or rims
- Damage around the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work

Chipstead: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do you come to Chipstead?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Chipstead and the rest of Kent. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 generally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Check the seal every few months
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Chipstead. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
