DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, giving it a fresh, even finish. We’re frequently asked to fix snagging damage in a new bathroom and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, in acrylic, enamelled steel and cast iron.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Plumpton
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you cover the whole of East Sussex?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
How long does it take to cure?
You’ll get the exact time when we finish, typically the following day.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, 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.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Store bottles off the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
The process
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
