Common questions in Budlett's Common

Is a cracked tray repairable?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

Do you work in Budlett's Common?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Budlett's Common and the rest of East Sussex. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Landlord and trade work in Budlett's Common

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Budlett's Common as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Budlett's Common?

The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Before booking anyone

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Budlett's Common. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Budlett's Common. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
