Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray normally involves taking out the enclosure and tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Shower tray repair in Drimpton without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. If you are dealing with chips or cracks by the plughole and cracks running from the waste, we can help, on enamelled steel, acrylic and cast iron alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Do you need shower tray repair in Drimpton?
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks usually point to an uneven base.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chipped corners or rims
- A tray that flexes
- Staining and dullness across the tray

Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Work for landlords and builders
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.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Common questions in Drimpton
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Drimpton.
Are there extra charges for Drimpton?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
