Need shower tray repair in Southsea?

Southsea: your questions answered

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

When can I use the shower again?

Usually the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you cover Southsea?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Southsea from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How we handle shower tray repair in Southsea

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We are frequently asked to fix scratches in the surface and a damaged area around the waste, across enamelled steel, cast iron and acrylic.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Southsea

  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Store bottles off the tray

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.

When to call us in Southsea

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A crack across the base
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice

Should you replace it?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is generally 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. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What affects the price in Southsea

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Southsea. What changes the price is:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
