Questions from Polegate
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Are there extra charges for Polegate?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Typically, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Polegate and the rest of East Sussex. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time on the day, usually the day after.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Check the seal every few months
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Trays cracked in several places
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BN26 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colour mixed on the day to match
