About our shower tray repair in Rottingdean
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Whether it’s chips or cracks by the plughole and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can help, on acrylic, ceramic and cast iron alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Common questions in Rottingdean
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Rottingdean. Prices don’t change with location.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Rottingdean
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What else we do in Rottingdean
Do you need shower tray repair in Rottingdean?

Should you replace it?
