FAQs for West Chiltington

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

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

How long does it take to cure?

We will give you the curing time on the day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is my repair covered?

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

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

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 are filled and matched to the surface.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

What affects the price in West Chiltington

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in West Chiltington, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Common problems we fix in West Chiltington

Cracks often start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the colour is matched
