How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the day after.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TN33 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Whatlington
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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’ll get a fixed figure.

Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Get a moving tray checked
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use the extractor fan
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Questions from Whatlington
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you work in Whatlington?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Whatlington and the rest of East Sussex. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How long does it take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, generally the following day.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Whatlington. Prices don’t change with location.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your TN33 postcode.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully 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.
