Shower Tray Repair for Christow homes
Shower tray repair across Christow and nearby, typically in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the edges
- Staining and dullness across the tray
What happens on the day
We turn 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 we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

About our shower tray repair in Christow
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Our technicians work on cast iron, ceramic and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are damage from a refit or building work and damage around the waste.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
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.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place

Common questions in Christow
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
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
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Christow
Cracks often start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Should you replace it?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
