Need shower tray repair in Upper Common?

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Upper Common

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

Shower tray repair in Upper Common without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Whether it’s cracks running from the waste and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Upper Common as everywhere else we work.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How to look after the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Common questions in Upper Common

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you come to Upper Common?

We do. Technicians travel to Upper Common from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Hampshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Do you redo the sealant?

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

Repair or replace in Upper Common?

A new shower tray usually means taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Upper Common. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chipped corners or rims

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hampshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
