Book shower tray repair in Staplefield

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Shower tray repair in Staplefield without replacing anything

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair stone resin, acrylic and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the edges and chips or cracks by the plughole.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Staplefield and across West Sussex.

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

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

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Get a moving tray checked

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Common problems we fix in Staplefield

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, normally along the edges or by the waste.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Can I fix it myself?

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Questions from Staplefield

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

How long does it take to cure?

Usually the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

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

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
