Do you need shower tray repair in Bitterne Manor?
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Damage around the waste

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Related advice
Landlord and trade work in Bitterne Manor
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Bitterne Manor, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- A tray broken in more than one place
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Bitterne Manor. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SO18 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Common questions in Bitterne Manor
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
