Should you replace it?

Shower tray repair in Shanklin, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack doesn’t come back. We’re frequently asked to fix a tray that flexes and cracks running from the waste, in ceramic, stone resin and acrylic.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder

What else we do in Shanklin
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Common questions in Shanklin
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
When to call us in Shanklin
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A tray that flexes
- A crack across the base
- Chips caused during fitting
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Shanklin, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
