Shower tray repair at your home in Crawley Down

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We are often asked to fix edge chips from dropped bottles and chips caused during fitting, in enamelled steel, acrylic and stone resin.

Around Crawley Down, showers are frequently in bungalows and houses and walk-in shower rooms. We repair trays without taking them out.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare. Visits around Crawley Down are normally simple: we park, protect the room and get started, after agreeing the plan with you.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

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 heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Crawley Down: your questions answered

Can you fix shower trays in a rental near East Grinstead station?

Yes, rental work is a big part of what we do, and a repair between tenants is generally quicker than replacing.

Do you work for schools and businesses in Crawley Down?

Yes, commercial work is part of what we do, and our accreditations include CHAS and Constructionline. Photos and a few details are enough for a quote.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we tidy up before we leave.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Crawley Down is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Crawley Down. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
