Shower tray repair for Southwick homes

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Shower tray repair in Southwick, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. If you are dealing with scratches in the surface and a dull, stained or worn surface, we can typically put it right, on cast iron, ceramic and stone resin alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Stained shower tray resurfaced to clean white, before and after

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Landlord and trade work in Southwick

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Southwick. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Different materials, different repairs

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaking waste fittings

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Southwick

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Scratches in the surface

Before booking anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before booking

Questions from Southwick

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Southwick?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
