Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Golden Cross, East Sussex
Shower tray repair across Golden Cross and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Repairs from £95

What we do, step by step
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, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Use the extractor fan
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
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.
Golden Cross: your questions answered
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
