What affects the price in Atherington

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most customers in Atherington get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we’re called out for in Atherington

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips on the edges

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Our hiring checklist

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Atherington

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Atherington is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in West Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Atherington use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
