Trusted shower tray repair in Bitterne Park

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Shower tray repair in Bitterne Park, done in place

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. Common call-outs are for movement when you stand on it and snagging damage in a new bathroom, on enamelled steel, stone resin and acrylic.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Bitterne Park questions

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Bitterne Park?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you come to Bitterne Park?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Bitterne Park and the rest of Southampton. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

How long does it take to cure?

Generally the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we are called out for in Bitterne Park

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that flexes
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Should you replace it?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Check the seal every few months

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
