Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

When to call us in Chorleywood West

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Before booking anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Get a moving tray checked

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Repairing versus replacing in Chorleywood West

A new shower tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Work done at your home or business
  • A fixed quote before you book

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Chorleywood West. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Chorleywood West. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
