About our shower tray repair in Charminster
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We work on stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic, and common reasons people contact us are edge chips from dropped bottles and a damaged area around the waste.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Charminster as everywhere else we work.

Common problems we fix in Charminster

These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Damage around the waste
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
Before booking anyone
- How the room is protected while they work

Questions from Charminster
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you cover the entire of Dorset?
Everywhere in the UK, Charminster included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Dorset.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work in Charminster?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Charminster and the rest of Dorset. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. 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.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price

Repair or replace: which is better?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Same prices wherever you are

For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
If you manage property in Charminster, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Charminster. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Charminster. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
