Shower tray repair at your home in Strettington
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll tell you if that’s the case. We work on cast iron, acrylic and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about edge chips from dropped bottles and damage around the waste.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Strettington and across West Sussex.

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Strettington
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How long does it take to cure?
You will get the exact time when we finish, usually the following day.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Strettington?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your PO18 postcode.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Strettington
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
Get a quote
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Store bottles off the tray
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder

When to call us in Strettington
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- Damage around the waste
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Chips caused during fitting
- Movement when you stand on it
Questions to ask before you book
- When it can be used again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if they find more damage
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
