Trusted shower tray repair in Upperton

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel
  • Ceramic

Shower tray repair in Upperton without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Common call-outs are for a damaged area around the waste and damage from a refit or building work, in ceramic, cast iron and acrylic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upperton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

FAQs for Upperton

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of West Sussex. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
