What we’re called out for in St Leonards

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Common questions in St Leonards

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How long does it take to cure?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, generally the day after.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Check the seal every few months

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Landlord and trade work in St Leonards

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
