Shower tray repair at your home in Fontmell Magna

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Common call-outs are for movement when you stand on it and scratches from cleaning or grit, on stone resin, cast iron and ceramic.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Repairs by material

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Fontmell Magna

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Common questions in Fontmell Magna

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

How long does it take to cure?

You’ll get the exact time when we finish, typically the next day.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced.

Do you come to Fontmell Magna?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Fontmell Magna and the rest of Dorset. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
  5. Once cured, generally by the following day, you can use the shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
