Shower tray repair in Higher Chillington, done in place

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. We regularly repair acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are a crack across the base and a damaged area around the waste.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Higher Chillington questions

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are there extra charges for Higher Chillington?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you come to Higher Chillington?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Higher Chillington for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Higher Chillington. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Higher Chillington

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Higher Chillington as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What we are called out for in Higher Chillington

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage around the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Our hiring checklist

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.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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