Shower tray repair near West Dean

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together. Somewhere as small as West Dean, access is usually the main thing to plan. Once we’re there, the shower tray repair works exactly as anywhere else.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.

How we handle shower tray repair in West Dean

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. We work on ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and movement when you stand on it.

In a village like West Dean, showers are often later additions to older homes, so we check how the tray is supported before repairing.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in West Sussex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Older homes around West Dean may have sizes and fittings that new pieces don’t match. A repair keeps the original.

Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
