Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.

How we handle shower tray repair in Calshot

Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We regularly repair acrylic, ceramic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are cracks running from the waste and damage from a refit or building work.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Calshot: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you cover Calshot?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Calshot for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. 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.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Related advice

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why Calshot clients choose us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Calshot as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in Calshot

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Calshot, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What we are called out for in Calshot

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Common reasons people in Calshot contact us include:

  • A tray that flexes
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chipped corners or rims

Comparing quotes

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long it needs to cure
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
