Shower tray repair for Lindfield homes

About our shower tray repair in Lindfield

We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. Typical jobs include edge chips from dropped bottles and chips or cracks by the plughole, in acrylic, ceramic and cast iron.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Lindfield and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Lindfield, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Get a moving tray checked

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice

What we are called out for in Lindfield

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • A crack across the base
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Chipped corners or rims

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Lindfield

The tray is generally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs

Read our prices page.

What affects the price in Lindfield

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

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

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Lindfield. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

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

Materials we repair

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

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
