Shower tray repair in Tidebrook without replacing anything

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. If you are dealing with a crack across the base and a tray that flexes, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

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

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Repairing versus replacing in Tidebrook

Replacing a tray typically means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Tidebrook

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

Look out for these signs:

  • Scratches in the surface
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chipped corners or rims

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What preparation is included
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Questions from Tidebrook

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

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
