About our shower tray repair in Bishop's Caundle
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Typical jobs include edge chips from dropped bottles and a dull, stained or worn surface, across ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Common problems we fix in Bishop's Caundle
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that flexes
- A cracked shower tray
- A damaged area around the waste

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Bishop's Caundle. The price comes down to:
- The material
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Common questions in Bishop's Caundle
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time on the day, usually the day after.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, generally by the day after, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DT9 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Should you replace it?
The tray is usually the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
