Trusted shower tray repair in Fulking

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

How we handle shower tray repair in Fulking

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Common call-outs are for chips caused during fitting and a dull, stained or worn surface, on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Fulking, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

What we are called out for in Fulking

Cracks often start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Damage around the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who turns up on the day
