Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Arlington, East Sussex
We travel to Arlington for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A damaged area around the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on. Somewhere as small as Arlington, access is usually the main thing to plan. Once we’re there, the shower tray repair works exactly as anywhere else.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Shower tray repair at your home in Arlington
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. Common call-outs are for scratches in the surface and chips on the edges, in acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel.
Somewhere like Arlington, showers are often in converted or older buildings, where timber floors can move. We check the tray is solid before repairing a crack.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get a moving tray checked
- Check the seal every few months
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Arlington, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Replacement in Arlington means trades, travel and waste removal, while a repair is a single visit.
Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Questions from Arlington
I let a flat near Berwick (Sussex) station. Can you help between tenants?
Yes, we often work between tenancies, and we can quote for several properties together.
Do you come out to small places like Arlington?
Yes, we do: small places like Arlington are covered as standard. Just mention any tricky access.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Arlington?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What we are called out for in Arlington
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that flexes
- A crack across the base
Rented homes near Berwick (Sussex) station (about 1.2 miles west) change hands often, and repairing shower trays between tenants is quicker than replacing them.
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
