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.
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
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.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
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
Before you book anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price covers travel
- How soon you can use it again
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.
- 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: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is 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 a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Alfold Bars, and we will reply with a fixed price.
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.
