Shower tray repair in Bodiam without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our technicians work on cast iron, stone resin and acrylic, and common reasons people get in touch are a dull, stained or worn surface and scratches from cleaning or grit.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from Bodiam

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across East Sussex.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

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

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

Signs you need shower tray repair in Bodiam

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
