Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How we handle shower tray repair in Crowborough
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. If you are dealing with damage from a refit or building work and a crack across the base, we can help.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Check the seal every few months
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Store bottles off the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Landlord and trade work in Crowborough
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
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.
What we are called out for in Crowborough
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Customers generally contact us about:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage around the waste
- A crack across the base
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
Before you book anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
- How your room will be protected
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Crowborough
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

What else we do in Crowborough
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
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.
