How we handle shower tray repair in Clapgate
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We regularly repair stone resin, enamelled steel and cast iron, and people most frequently call us about damage around the waste and a dull, stained or worn surface.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Clapgate and across Dorset.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Repairing versus replacing in Clapgate
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Why Clapgate clients choose us
- One visit for most repairs
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Everything repaired in place

Clapgate questions
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Near you in Clapgate
Typical jobs here are in homes near Church of St Michael and All Angels, Dumpton School and Queen Elizabeth's School and the streets around them. Nearby you will also find Stapehill Abbey (2.8 miles south-east) and Alderney Hospital (5.2 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Stoney Down.
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 typically cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What else we do in Clapgate
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.
Do you need shower tray repair in Clapgate?
Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Common reasons people in Clapgate contact us include:
- Chips on the edges
- Chips caused during fitting
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- Damage around the waste
