Shower tray repair for Icklesham homes

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  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 tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

How we handle shower tray repair in Icklesham

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. The colour and finish are matched. Common call-outs are for cracks running from the waste and movement when you stand on it, in enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

Common questions in Icklesham

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Will it make a mess?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Icklesham

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What affects the price in Icklesham

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs 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 price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

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

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Icklesham

Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A cracked shower tray

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
