How we handle shower tray repair in Pilley

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. We work on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic, and people most often call us about damage around the waste and a dull, stained or worn surface.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

Pilley questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Hampshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Repair or replace in Pilley?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Pilley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything

Take a look at our pricing.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlord and trade work in Pilley

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Pilley

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Damage around the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How your room will be protected
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Aftercare tips

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

  • Do not ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Check the seal every few months

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price
