Shower tray repair in East Worthing, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Typical jobs include a tray that flexes and snagging damage in a new bathroom, across cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Questions from East Worthing

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do you work in East Worthing?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to East Worthing. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  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 colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in East Worthing, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

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

Enamelled steel

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

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

For a price in East Worthing, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
