Shower tray repair in Horley, done in place

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Typical jobs include staining and dullness across the tray and edge chips from dropped bottles, in acrylic, cast iron and ceramic.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most customers in Horley get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common problems we fix in Horley

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Cracks running from the waste

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Advice

Common questions in Horley

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Horley. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Horley?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Do you come to Horley?

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

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What a repair can’t 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)
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
