Shower tray repair in Plumpton Green

How we handle shower tray repair in Plumpton Green

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are a cracked shower tray and scratches from cleaning or grit.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Plumpton Green and across East Sussex.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Plumpton Green

Can you quote from photos?

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

What areas do you cover?

All of East Sussex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

How much does shower tray repair cost in Plumpton Green?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Plumpton Green use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

What we’re called out for in Plumpton Green

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What prep work is covered
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before you book

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
