Shower tray repair at your home in Lower Slackstead
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. If you are dealing with damage around the waste and chips on the edges, we can usually put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Lower Slackstead
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Enamelled steel
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Get a moving tray checked
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
When to call us in Lower Slackstead
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damage around the waste
- A crack across the base
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Chips on the edges

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Lower Slackstead: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Hampshire.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is repairing better 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.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
