A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Shower tray repair in Hastings, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. If you have a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and a crack across the base, we can generally put it right, on acrylic, stone resin and cast iron alike.
Newer homes and refits in Hastings frequently have stone resin trays, which crack if the base underneath isn’t solid. We check the tray is firm before we repair it.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

Questions from Hastings
I let a flat near St Leonards Warrior Square station. Can you help between tenants?
Of course: pictures and an address are all we need for a price, and we can arrange access with the tenant if that helps.
Can you repair shower trays at a school or business in Hastings?
Yes, commercial work is part of what we do. Send pictures and details of the building.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
When can I use the shower again?
You will get the exact time when we finish.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
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 can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. In rentals around Hastings, replacing can keep a property empty for longer, while a repair is usually done in a day.
Prices start from £95. The price 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 quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hastings
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When to call us in Hastings
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A cracked shower tray
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
If you manage a building such as St Paul's Church of England Academy, we repair changing-room showers as well as work in homes.
