How we handle shower tray repair in Chichester

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. If you are dealing with scuffs and light scratches and a cracked shower tray, we can usually put it right.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Chichester

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

When can I use the shower again?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, typically the day after.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

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

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 affects the price in Chichester

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave 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.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Chichester. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Work done at your home or business

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • How changes to the job are handled
