Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Glynde, East Sussex
Our technicians come to Glynde for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Glynde, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

About our shower tray repair in Glynde
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. Common call-outs are for scratches in the surface and a crack across the base, on enamelled steel, acrylic and ceramic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- A tray broken in more than one place

What we are called out for in Glynde
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- Damage around the waste
- Cracks running from the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Damage from a refit or building work

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
