Trusted shower tray repair in Marchwood

What we’re called out for in Marchwood

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Cracks running from the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How your room will be protected
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Questions from Marchwood

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Hampshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Most clients in Marchwood get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched and costs far less. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

See our prices page.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the day after, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
