About our shower tray repair in Alfold Bars
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. We work on acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are movement when you stand on it and chips on the edges.
In a village like Alfold Bars, many shower trays are in cottages and barn conversions, where floors may be timber. A crack is only repaired once we know the tray is firm.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Alfold Bars: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Alfold Bars?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you fix shower trays at a school or business in Alfold Bars?
Yes, commercial work is part of what we do. Send photos and details of the building.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Common problems we fix in Alfold Bars
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A tray that flexes
- A crack across the base
- Damage from a refit or building work
If you manage a building such as Loxwood Primary School, we repair changing-room showers as well as work in homes.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it. Somewhere like Alfold Bars needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. Everything for the shower tray repair comes with us in one trip.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your RH14 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use the extractor fan
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in West Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
