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 are filled and matched to the surface.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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

Brede: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Brede.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Do you come to Brede?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Brede and the rest of East Sussex. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Brede

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Common problems we fix in Brede

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chips on the edges
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Aftercare advice
