Trusted shower tray repair in Hellingly

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Shower tray repair in Hellingly, done in place

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. Whether it’s a damaged area around the waste and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

When to call us in Hellingly

Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A cracked shower tray

Choosing a repair company

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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 reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Hellingly

  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Check the seal every few months

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Hellingly

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
