Trusted shower tray repair in Worthing

Shower tray repair in Worthing, done in place

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Our repair technicians work on enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic, and people most frequently call us about a dull, stained or worn surface and scratches from cleaning or grit.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Worthing. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Worthing, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

FAQs for Worthing

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Worthing?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

When can I use the shower again?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, generally the following day.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of West Sussex. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Repairing versus replacing in Worthing

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

When to call us in Worthing

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Damage from a refit or building work

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

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.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
