About our shower tray repair in Herstmonceux

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. We’re often asked to fix a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and scratches in the surface, across ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Herstmonceux

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A crack across the base

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

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

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
