Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.
Questions from Barcombe
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover the entire of East Sussex?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Barcombe. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
How long before I can shower?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, typically the day after.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Check the seal every few months
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
