About our shower tray repair in Rudgwick
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. We work on stone resin, ceramic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are damage around the waste and scuffs and light scratches.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Store bottles off the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Rudgwick. What changes the price is:

Your questions about shower tray repair in Rudgwick
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Trays cracked in several places
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
What else we do in Rudgwick
Repairing versus replacing in Rudgwick

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
