Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Hoathly use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in East Hoathly, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Common problems we fix in East Hoathly

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips on the edges

10 questions to ask before you book

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  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, generally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
