Shower tray repair near Furnace Wood

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Furnace Wood

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across West Sussex.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Furnace Wood?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your RH19 postcode.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Common problems we fix in Furnace Wood

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chipped corners or rims

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
