Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business

Hastings questions

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Normally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Are there extra charges for Hastings?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you work in Hastings?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Hastings from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hastings

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Somerset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hastings use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What affects the price in Hastings

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Hastings. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most clients in Hastings get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Do not 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.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Hastings

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.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A crack across the base
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips caused during fitting

Questions to ask before booking

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How soon you can use it again
