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

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Uckfield. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Landlord and trade work in Uckfield
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price

Uckfield questions
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Normally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Common problems we fix in Uckfield
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Cracks running from the waste
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
