Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- One price list for the entire UK
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
Read our pricing.
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Bassett
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Use the extractor fan
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they can’t be knocked over.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we’re called out for in Bassett
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chipped corners or rims
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- A crack across the base

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Bassett
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Bassett and the rest of Southampton. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
