How we handle shower tray repair in Cheselbourne
Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes can all be put right without removing the tray. Our technicians work on acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel, and the jobs we see most are chips caused during fitting and a dull, stained or worn surface.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Cheselbourne
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Dorset. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes, if you’d like us to. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Cheselbourne?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Typically, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
If you’re in Cheselbourne and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

Repair or replace: which is better?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
