How we handle shower tray repair in Dorchester

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Dorchester and across Dorset.

Repair or replace: which is better?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What else we do in Dorchester
When to call us in Dorchester
Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- A tray that flexes
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
Comparing quotes
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Store bottles off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Report any creaking or movement early
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is typically usable the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Make sure the area is dry

Common questions in Dorchester
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Dorchester?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Dorchester. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
