Shower tray repair in Crawley, done in place

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We are often asked to fix edge chips from dropped bottles and chips or cracks by the plughole, in stone resin, ceramic and acrylic.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

When to call us in Crawley

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

The things clients generally mention when they call include:

  • Damage around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that flexes
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Crawley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

What affects the price in Crawley

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Crawley. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Looking after it afterwards

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

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
