Shower tray repair in Lower Burgate without replacing anything
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 will explain what we find. We regularly repair cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a damaged area around the waste and scuffs and light scratches.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Look out for these signs:
- Scuffs and light scratches

Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you’re in Lower Burgate and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Most customers in Lower Burgate get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Lower Burgate questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Lower Burgate.
Do you cover the entire of Hampshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Lower Burgate and the rest of Hampshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.
Should you replace it?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
