Your questions about shower tray repair in New Forest
Do you cover villages like New Forest?
We do: New Forest is covered like any town. Tell us if access is tricky.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead. Somewhere like New Forest needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring everything needed for the shower tray repair, so there’s no second trip.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hampshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Repair or replace in New Forest?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched, at a fraction of the cost. In an older home in a village like New Forest, replacing a shower tray can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. A repair keeps the original.
Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for New Forest. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
