How we handle shower tray repair in West Marden

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Whether it’s a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can help, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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 entire tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

West Marden: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you work in West Marden?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to West Marden and the rest of West Sussex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common problems we fix in West Marden

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

Before you book anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who turns up on the day
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
