Shower tray repair at your home in Cuckfield

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces can all be put right without removing the tray. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are a dull, stained or worn surface and a cracked shower tray.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Cuckfield, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Cuckfield questions

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Cuckfield.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cuckfield. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

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 your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Landlord and trade work in Cuckfield

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cuckfield use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
