About our shower tray repair in East Dean

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. If you are dealing with a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and damage from a refit or building work, we can usually put it right.

Every job is backed for twelve months in East Dean and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Store bottles off the tray

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for East Dean. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
