Shower tray repair across Dorset: what to expect

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. We work on acrylic, cast iron and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about chips caused during fitting and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot.

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the next day.

Cost

Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What’s near Weymouth

Around Weymouth, we work in homes near The Star Public House, Beechcroft St Pauls CofE Primary School and Nothe Gardens. You will also find Budmouth College (1.2 miles west) and Church of St Paul (within half a mile south). There is a railway station in Weymouth itself: Weymouth station. Nearby you’ll also find Portwey Hospital (0.6 miles south) and Weymouth Timewalk Museum (0.9 miles west). The countryside around Weymouth includes Jordan Hill and Radipole Lake.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Check the seal every few months

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption.

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

If you are in Dorset and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Dorset, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Common problems we fix in Dorset

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Damage around the waste
  • Scratches in the surface

Dorset: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you cover Dorset?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Dorset from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
