When to call us in Bitterne

These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that flexes

How we handle shower tray repair in Bitterne
Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Common call-outs are for movement when you stand on it and damage around the waste, on ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bitterne. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
If you are in Bitterne and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What else we do in Bitterne
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
