Repair or replace in Colgate?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why book with us

What we’re called out for in Colgate
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chipped corners or rims
- Chips caused during fitting
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
What your quote should include
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What aftercare is recommended
- When it can be used again
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Colgate
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Rinse the tray after each shower
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Questions from Colgate
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Do you cover the whole of West Sussex?
We cover the whole UK, including Colgate and the rest of West Sussex. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
When can I use the shower again?
We will give you the curing time on the day, typically the day after.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Typically, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
