Shower tray repair in Chopwell, done in place
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. Common call-outs are for cracks running from the waste and damage around the waste, in ceramic, stone resin and cast iron.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Repair or replace in Chopwell?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
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.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
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.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

FAQs for Chopwell
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
How long does it take to cure?
Typically the day after. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

When to call us in Chopwell
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A crack across the base
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Movement when you stand on it
Before you book anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the colour is matched
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Store bottles off the tray
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
