Shower tray repair at your home in Dumplington
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We’ll explain what we find. Whether it’s scratches in the surface and staining and dullness across the tray, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Dumplington
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A tray that flexes
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Cracks running from the waste
- Damage from a refit or building work
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
- What preparation is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- 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.
- It’s left to cure, generally until the next day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repairing versus replacing in Dumplington
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. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Common questions in Dumplington
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Dumplington?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Dumplington. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your M30 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
