Shower tray repair in Cholsey

About our shower tray repair in Cholsey

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. We regularly repair enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic, and people most often call us about scuffs and light scratches and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Read our full price list.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common questions in Cholsey

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you work in Cholsey?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
