Shower tray repair at your home in Lane End
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. Our technicians work on stone resin, enamelled steel and acrylic, and common reasons people contact us are edge chips from dropped bottles and scuffs and light scratches.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray broken in more than one place

Your questions about shower tray repair in Lane End
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
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 you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
