How we handle shower tray repair in Fittleworth
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. If you’re dealing with a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a damaged area around the waste, we can usually put it right, on ceramic, stone resin and cast iron alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Fittleworth
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Do you cover the entire of West Sussex?
Everywhere in the UK, Fittleworth included. Travel is included in the price.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fittleworth use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Fittleworth. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most clients in Fittleworth get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
