Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you can’t see.
What affects the price in Withdean
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
What we cannot put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Withdean

FAQs for Withdean
Do you come to Withdean?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Withdean from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How long does it take to cure?
You will get the exact time when we finish, generally the following day.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
There’s 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 come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- One visit for most repairs
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Withdean, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
