Shower tray repair for Chuck Hatch homes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

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

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

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.

How we handle shower tray repair in Chuck Hatch

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. Typical jobs include chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that flexes, on ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel.

In a village like Chuck Hatch, many shower trays are in cottages and barn conversions, where floors may be timber. We check the tray is solid before repairing a crack.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Common questions in Chuck Hatch

Do you work for landlords with property near Ashurst Kent station?

Yes. We repair shower trays between tenancies for landlords and letting agents, and several addresses can be quoted together.

Will you travel to Chuck Hatch?

Yes, villages and hamlets are part of our area, at no extra charge.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

How long does it take to cure?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, generally the next day.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we tidy up before we leave.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you redo the sealant?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Do you cover the whole of East Sussex?

The whole UK, including all of East Sussex. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

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

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Somewhere as small as Chuck Hatch, access is usually the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

If you’re in Chuck Hatch and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot 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 we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair
