How we handle shower tray repair in Affpuddle
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We work on enamelled steel, cast iron and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage in a new bathroom and staining and dullness across the tray.

Affpuddle questions
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Do you cover Affpuddle?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Affpuddle from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you cover the whole of Dorset?
We cover the entire UK, including Affpuddle and the rest of Dorset. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Get a moving tray checked
- Ventilate the room after showers
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Common problems we fix in Affpuddle
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.
Look out for any of the following:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Damage from a refit or building work
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who turns up on the day
- What prep work is covered
- If travel is included in the price
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
