About our shower tray repair in Birling Gap
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Whether it’s a cracked shower tray and a damaged area around the waste, we can help.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Birling Gap: your questions answered
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Birling Gap
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Birling Gap as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Store bottles off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
