How we handle shower tray repair in Ovingdean

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. Our technicians work on acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and damage from a refit or building work.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

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

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Do you need shower tray repair in Ovingdean?

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Damage around the waste
  • Chips on the edges
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

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

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Repairing versus replacing in Ovingdean

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. 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.

Why book with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Brighton and Hove and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What affects the price in Ovingdean

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Ovingdean. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, tidy-up included.

  1. We make sure the tray does not flex and look for 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. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Questions from Ovingdean

How much does shower tray repair cost in Ovingdean?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you come to Ovingdean?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Ovingdean. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
