When we’d advise against a repair

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. Somewhere as small as Winchelsea Beach, access is typically the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space clear if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

What we’re called out for in Winchelsea Beach

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • A tray that flexes
  • A crack across the base
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Rented homes near Winchelsea station (about 1.6 miles north-west) change hands often, and repairing shower trays between tenants is quicker than replacing them.

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Winchelsea Beach: your questions answered

Can you fix shower trays in a rental near Winchelsea station?

Of course: pictures and an address are all we need for a price, and we can arrange access with the tenant if that helps.

Do you work for schools and businesses in Winchelsea Beach?

Yes, commercial work is part of what we do. Send pictures and details of the building.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray typically means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. In an older home in a village like Winchelsea Beach, replacing a shower tray can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
