Shower tray repair near Ringmer

Shower tray repair at your home in Ringmer

You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you are dealing with scuffs and light scratches and a tray that flexes, we can usually put it right, on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park

What we are called out for in Ringmer

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • A crack across the base
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that flexes

Before booking anyone
