Shower tray repair near Test Valley

Do you need shower tray repair in Test Valley?

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Cracks running from the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings

Materials we work on in Test Valley

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

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Enamelled steel

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

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Common questions in Test Valley

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Are there extra charges for Test Valley?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you cover Test Valley?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Test Valley and the rest of Hampshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Hampshire.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
