Shower tray repair near Old Shoreham

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.

Shower tray repair in Old Shoreham without replacing anything

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We work on cast iron, ceramic and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

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

Common problems we fix in Old Shoreham

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips on the edges
  • A tray that flexes

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, typically by the next day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

FAQs for Old Shoreham

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

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

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Repairing versus replacing in Old Shoreham

A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Old Shoreham

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Old Shoreham. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

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 price the job the same day in most cases.

What a repair cannot fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray that moves underfoot
