Shower tray repair in Lancing, done in place

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and a crack across the base.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lancing. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Lancing, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairing versus replacing in Lancing

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: 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. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Lancing. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Lancing

Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Movement when you stand on it
