Shower tray repair in Goodwood, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. We work on acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and people most often call us about a dull, stained or worn surface and scratches in the surface.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

If you manage property in Goodwood, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

How to look after the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Goodwood

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

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How to care for the finish
  • Who turns up on the day

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

FAQs for Goodwood

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do you cover Goodwood?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Goodwood for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Repair or replace in Goodwood?

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Read our prices page.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
