How we handle shower tray repair in Capel St Mary

Should you replace it?

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you make an old tray look new?

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Capel St Mary. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Capel St Mary, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Landlord and trade work in Capel St Mary
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
