Shower tray repair in Kingsmead

About our shower tray repair in Kingsmead

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on cast iron, acrylic and ceramic, and people most often call us about chips on the edges and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Kingsmead and across Hampshire.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in Kingsmead

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Kingsmead

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Kingsmead?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your PO17 postcode.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

When to call us in Kingsmead

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.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Damage around the waste
