Shower tray repair in Plumpton without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We’re often asked to fix chips or cracks by the plughole and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Do you need shower tray repair in Plumpton?

Dull and stained trays are typically down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

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

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  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 whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
