Shower tray repair in Fifehead Neville, done in place

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We regularly repair cast iron, enamelled steel and acrylic, and people most frequently call us about a damaged area around the waste and scratches in the surface.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Fifehead Neville and across Dorset.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • A tray broken in more than one place

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic
  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic
  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most clients in Fifehead Neville get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we’re called out for in Fifehead Neville

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • When it can be used again
