Shower tray repair for Shalden homes

Shower tray repair in Shalden, done in place

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can usually be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s movement when you stand on it and edge chips from dropped bottles, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your GU34 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shalden

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Hampshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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

Repairing versus replacing in Shalden

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Shalden. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Honest limits

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Shalden

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.

Can you resurface a whole tray?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do you cover the entire of Hampshire?

We cover the entire UK, including Shalden and the rest of Hampshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Shalden.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

When to call us in Shalden

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Chips or cracks by the plughole
  • A crack across the base

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Store bottles off the tray

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
