Landlords, agents and businesses in Dorcan
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
How we handle shower tray repair in Dorcan
You do not always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can normally be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. We regularly repair enamelled steel, ceramic and cast iron, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the edges and damage around the waste.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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 price, not a guess.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Check the seal every few months
- Use the extractor fan
- Report any creaking or movement early
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
- Multiple cracks across the tray
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Do you need shower tray repair in Dorcan?
Cracks often start at the waste, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips on the edges
- A damaged area around the waste
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Movement when you stand on it

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Dorcan questions

We cover the entire UK, including Dorcan and the rest of Swindon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
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. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, because water may be getting underneath.
What does shower tray repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
