When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Check the seal every few months
- Rinse away soap after showering
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BN2 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Saltdean questions
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Are there extra charges for Saltdean?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
