Shower tray repair in Lower Upnor, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. We work on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and people most often call us about movement when you stand on it and chips or cracks by the plughole.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

When to call us in Lower Upnor
Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Report any creaking or movement early
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

- A year’s guarantee on all work

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.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
What affects the price in Lower Upnor
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Lower Upnor, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
