When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lower Upham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Common questions in Lower Upham

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

How long does it take to cure?

Normally the next day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What we’re called out for in Lower Upham

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Damage around the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

The process

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SO32 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray

Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
