Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Ditchling
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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 photos.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
