Shower tray repair at your home in Boscombe
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We are frequently asked to fix cracks running from the waste and chips caused during fitting, on ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use the extractor fan
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
What a repair cannot fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Repair or replace in Boscombe?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Boscombe use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What affects the price in Boscombe
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Boscombe. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
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 to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
