About our shower tray repair in Sidley

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you are dealing with a cracked shower tray and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Sidley and across East Sussex.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Sidley

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Sidley included. Travel is included in the price.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repairing versus replacing in Sidley

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No need to remove anything
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our pricing.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

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.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote.

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A tray that flexes
  • Chips on the edges
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
