Shower tray repair near Wittensford

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

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

Shower tray repair in Wittensford, done in place

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. We work on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are a cracked shower tray and scratches from cleaning or grit.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

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

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

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

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Wittensford

Do you cover Wittensford?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Wittensford from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?

We cover the whole UK, including Wittensford and the rest of Hampshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Are there extra charges for Wittensford?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Wittensford, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Ask for a price

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SO43 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
