Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

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

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire 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. The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Ceramic

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Pell Green

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Damage around the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chipped corners or rims

Choosing a repair company

Pell Green: your questions answered

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Do you cover the whole of East Sussex?

Across the UK, and that includes Pell Green. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
