Landlords, agents and businesses in Sopley
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Shower tray repair in Sopley, done in place
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish. Our repair technicians work on ceramic, cast iron and enamelled steel, and common reasons people get in touch are chips or cracks by the plughole and cracks running from the waste.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Sopley. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
FAQs for Sopley
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Do you come to Sopley?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Sopley from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Common problems we fix in Sopley
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks typically point to an uneven base.
People usually call us when they notice something like this:
- Chipped corners or rims
- A crack across the base
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Damage around the waste

Repairing versus replacing in Sopley
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Sopley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
