Shower tray repair in Ropley without replacing anything
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Our repair technicians work on acrylic, stone resin and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about a tray that flexes and chips on the edges.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ropley
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
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.
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
If you’re in Ropley and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Common questions in Ropley
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How long does it take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
