How we handle shower tray repair in Purbrook Heath

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Common call-outs are for scratches in the surface and damage from a refit or building work, in ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Purbrook Heath: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you work in Purbrook Heath?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Purbrook Heath from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Purbrook Heath

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hampshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Repairing versus replacing in Purbrook Heath

Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Read our prices page.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What we are called out for in Purbrook Heath

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A cracked shower tray

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.

  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 match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
