How we handle shower tray repair in Cranborne
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that is the case. Typical jobs include chips on the edges and chips caused during fitting, across enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

What else we do in Cranborne
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray broken in more than one place
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cranborne. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Common problems we fix in Cranborne
Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Chips on the edges
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Staining and dullness across the tray
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- How changes to the job are handled
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Repairing versus replacing in Cranborne
Replacing a tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Cranborne
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Cranborne included. Travel is included in the price.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Do you work in Cranborne?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Cranborne from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
