Book shower tray repair in Ringwood

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble 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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Shower tray repair at your home in Ringwood

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are a damaged area around the waste and damage from a refit or building work.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss 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, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Ringwood

Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A dull, stained or worn surface

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

FAQs for Ringwood

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Hampshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For a price in Ringwood, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page.

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
