Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- 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
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. We don’t 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.

What we are called out for in Upper Dicker
Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale wear the finish away.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A tray that flexes
- Scratches from cleaning or grit

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Upper Dicker: your questions answered
Do you cover the whole of East Sussex?
Everywhere in the UK, Upper Dicker included. There is no extra charge for travel.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BN27 postcode.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Upper Dicker. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole shower tray
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
