Shower tray repair in Sellindge without replacing anything

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. If you’re dealing with staining and dullness across the tray and a tray that flexes, we can help.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Stained shower tray resurfaced to clean white, before and after

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Check the seal every few months

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

What affects the price in Sellindge

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Sellindge, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Cast iron
  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

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.

Sellindge questions

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

How long does it take to cure?

Usually the day after. We will confirm before we leave.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can pets and children be at home?

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 OK to use a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
