Signs you need shower tray repair in Child Okeford

- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DT11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can generally be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Common questions in Child Okeford
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
When can I use the shower again?
We will give you the curing time on the day, generally the next day.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Repairs by material
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 gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Repair or replace in Child Okeford?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Work done at your home or business
- Normally one visit, start to finish
