Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Shower tray repair in Dukes Green without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We regularly repair ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about movement when you stand on it and chips caused during fitting.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Trays cracked in several places

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

What affects the price in Dukes Green

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Dukes Green questions

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

What areas do you cover?

All of East Sussex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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 reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price
