Shower tray repair in Upperton, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for cracks running from the waste and staining and dullness across the tray, on cast iron, acrylic and stone resin.
In a smaller place like Upperton, many showers are in bungalows and family homes and walk-in shower rooms. A cracked or worn tray can be repaired without lifting it.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. For a home around Upperton where the shower tray is sound, replacing it is rarely worth the cost and disruption.
Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Upperton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Work done at your home or business

What we’re called out for in Upperton
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
Common reasons people in Upperton contact us include:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Chips caused during fitting
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Movement when you stand on it
Landlords with property near Eastbourne station (in Upperton itself) use us between tenancies, so shower trays are repaired rather than replaced.
Before you book anyone
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What preparation is included
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
