For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often 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.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Shower tray repair in Upton, done in place

We repair plenty of shower trays. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. We regularly repair ceramic, cast iron and acrylic, and the jobs we see most are a damaged area around the waste and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Movement when you stand on it

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, typically by the day after, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

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

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

FAQs for Upton

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you come to Upton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Upton and the rest of Southampton. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it isn’t leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will you leave a mess?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
