Trusted shower tray repair in Petworth

Shower tray repair at your home in Petworth

We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include damage from a refit or building work and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, across cast iron, acrylic and stone resin.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Petworth, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in Petworth

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • How long it needs to cure
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if they find more damage

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Petworth

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We leave the room clean.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for 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, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

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

Common questions in Petworth

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
