Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Shower tray repair in Maidenbower, done in place
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. If you’re dealing with scuffs and light scratches and chips caused during fitting, we can help, on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Maidenbower and across West Sussex.

Common questions in Maidenbower
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How long does it take to cure?
Usually the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the following day.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repairing versus replacing in Maidenbower
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. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Maidenbower. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Maidenbower as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
