Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including Fishpond Bottom and the rest of Dorset. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Are there extra charges for Fishpond Bottom?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you work in Fishpond Bottom?
We do. We send a technician to Fishpond Bottom for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Should you replace it?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Advice
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
