Shower tray repair at your home in Dudswell
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. Common call-outs are for staining and dullness across the tray and damage from a refit or building work, in stone resin, ceramic and cast iron.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Other services in Dudswell
Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
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 can be filled and matched.
What we’re called out for in Dudswell
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- A tray that flexes
- Chips caused during fitting

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- 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.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your HP4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Questions from Dudswell
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
