How we handle shower tray repair in The Chessels
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We’re frequently asked to fix edge chips from dropped bottles and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, on ceramic, cast iron and acrylic.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to The Chessels. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in The Chessels, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Store bottles off the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Questions from The Chessels
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How long does it take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you work in The Chessels?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to The Chessels for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Normally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures 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.
