How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need shower tray repair in Alciston?

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Damage around the waste

Rented homes near Berwick (Sussex) station (about 1.3 miles north-east) change hands often, and repairing shower trays between tenants is quicker than replacing them.

Before booking anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Alciston

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. For a rural home like those around Alciston, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.

Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare. Somewhere like Alciston needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the shower tray repair comes with us in one trip.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get 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 send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Alciston. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Alciston

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Alciston use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
