Shower tray repair in Eastbourne without replacing anything

When to call us in Eastbourne
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A damaged area around the waste
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chips on the edges
- Scratches in the surface
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if they find more damage
- What prep work is covered
- How the colour is matched
How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaking waste fittings
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eastbourne use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
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. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Eastbourne
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you cover Eastbourne?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Eastbourne. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
