- Repairs from £95
- Staining and dullness across the tray

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SP7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Shower tray repair at your home in Birdbush
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include snagging damage in a new bathroom and chips or cracks by the plughole, on enamelled steel, ceramic and acrylic.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset.

Common problems we fix in Birdbush
Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chipped corners or rims

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Check the seal every few months
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, generally by the next day, you can use the shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray generally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
