Shower tray repair in Little Chesterford, done in place

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. We work on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and cracks running from the waste.

Rural addresses like Little Chesterford just need a little planning, and we’ll organise the visit.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included. Somewhere like Little Chesterford needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. We bring everything needed for the shower tray repair, so there’s no second trip.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

Related advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Chesterford

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Common problems we fix in Little Chesterford

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A crack across the base
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

If you manage a building such as Great Chesterford Church of England Primary Academy, we repair changing-room showers as well as work in homes.

How to compare quotes

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.
