Shower tray repair in Staplecross without replacing anything
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not 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. Typical jobs include a damaged area around the waste and damage from a refit or building work, on enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

Questions from Staplecross
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across East Sussex.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Why repair rather than replace?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
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.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
