Trusted shower tray repair in East Lavant

Shower tray repair in East Lavant without replacing anything

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish without removing the screen or tiles. We regularly repair cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are scratches from cleaning or grit and a damaged area around the waste.

Somewhere like East Lavant, showers are often in converted or older buildings, where timber floors can move. We check the tray is solid before repairing a crack.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

East Lavant questions

Can you fix shower trays at a school or business in East Lavant?

Yes. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations and work for schools, leisure centres and businesses. We’ll agree timings that suit the building.

Do you work for landlords with property near Chichester station?

Yes. Send photos and the address, and we will quote, and we can arrange access with the tenant if that helps.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

When can you do it?

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

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What do you need from me?

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

Which areas do you work in?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • A tray broken in more than one place

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

What we work on

  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic

Do you need shower tray repair in East Lavant?

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A crack across the base
  • Scuffs and light scratches

Landlords with property near Chichester station (about 2.5 miles south) use us between tenancies, so shower trays are repaired rather than replaced.

What affects the price in East Lavant

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to East Lavant. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can price the job.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work. Somewhere as small as East Lavant, access is usually the main thing to plan. Once we are there, the shower tray repair works exactly as anywhere else.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Lavant use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How to look after the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
