Shower tray repair at your home in Willingdon
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include scratches in the surface and cracks running from the waste, on ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron.
In a village like Willingdon, showers are frequently later additions to older homes, and we always check the tray’s support first.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic
- Cast iron

Willingdon: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Hampden Park station?
Yes, we frequently work between tenancies, and several addresses can be quoted together.
Can you repair shower trays at a school or business in Willingdon?
Yes, commercial work is part of what we do. Send photos and details of the building.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What areas do you cover?
All of East Sussex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Willingdon.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
What affects the price in Willingdon
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Willingdon. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
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’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes cost nothing and you are under no obligation.
