Shower tray repair for East Chiltington homes

About our shower tray repair in East Chiltington

We repair a lot of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We’re frequently asked to fix a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and snagging damage in a new bathroom, across cast iron, acrylic and ceramic.

Every job is backed for twelve months in East Chiltington and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in East Chiltington

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel

What affects the price in East Chiltington

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Most clients in East Chiltington get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice

East Chiltington: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you come to East Chiltington?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to East Chiltington. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

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

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Do you need shower tray repair in East Chiltington?

Dull and stained trays are usually down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A crack across the base
  • Damage around the waste

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the colour is matched
