About our shower tray repair in Preston Candover
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We are often asked to fix damage from a refit or building work and cracks running from the waste, in cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Preston Candover and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What we are called out for in Preston Candover
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically on the edges or near the plughole.

When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Enamelled steel
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
What affects the price in Preston Candover
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Preston Candover. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Preston Candover
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Hampshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
