About our shower tray repair in Saddlescombe
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for a cracked shower tray and snagging damage in a new bathroom, on stone resin, acrylic and ceramic.
In a village like Saddlescombe, showers are often later additions to older homes, and we always check the tray’s support first.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Saddlescombe. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Report any creaking or movement early
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair

Common questions in Saddlescombe
Do you cover villages like Saddlescombe?
We do: small places like Saddlescombe are covered as standard. Tell us if access is tricky.
Can you fix shower trays in a rental near Hassocks station?
Yes, we frequently work between tenancies, and we can quote for several properties together.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Saddlescombe and the rest of West Sussex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Repairing versus replacing in Saddlescombe
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. For a rural home like those around Saddlescombe, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.
Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
