Shower tray repair in Brighton and Hove without replacing anything
We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. We’re frequently asked to fix a crack across the base and a dull, stained or worn surface, across cast iron, stone resin and acrylic.
Around Brighton and Hove, trays are mostly in en suites and family bathrooms. A crack or chip doesn’t mean a new tray, as long as it’s firmly supported.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. In a town like Brighton and Hove, a replacement may not match the rest of the room, while a repair keeps everything as it is.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
Questions from Brighton and Hove
Do you work for landlords with property near Aldrington station?
Yes, we frequently work between tenancies, and we can quote for several properties together.
Do you take on commercial work in Brighton and Hove?
Yes, we work for schools, leisure centres and businesses. Send photos and details of the building.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Brighton and Hove?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BN3 postcode.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What we are called out for in Brighton and Hove
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, normally along the edges or by the waste.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- Damage around the waste
- A crack across the base
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
Facilities teams at buildings such as West Hove Infant School can book us for changing-room showers too.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
