Shower tray repair in Roughdown

Shower tray repair in Roughdown, done in place

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. If you’re dealing with chips or cracks by the plughole and chips caused during fitting, we can generally put it right, on stone resin, ceramic and acrylic alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairing versus replacing in Roughdown

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

See our full price list.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Landlord and trade work in Roughdown

If you manage property in Roughdown, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Roughdown questions

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?

We work UK-wide, so Roughdown is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How long before I can shower?

Usually the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Do you cover Roughdown?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Roughdown for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Use the extractor fan

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, generally until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Roughdown. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we’re called out for in Roughdown

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A tray that flexes
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
