Shower tray repair at your home in Lower Willingdon

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for snagging damage in a new bathroom and scratches from cleaning or grit, on ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin.

Around Lower Willingdon, showers are often in bungalows and houses, including walk-in showers. We repair trays without taking them out.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Lower Willingdon. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated

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

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use. For a home in Lower Willingdon, we normally park close by and start immediately, after agreeing the plan with you.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the following day, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Common problems we fix in Lower Willingdon

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips usually come from dropped bottles.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Chips caused during fitting

If you manage a building such as Willingdon Primary School, we repair changing-room showers as well as work in homes.
