Common questions in Gaunt's Common
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Dorset.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- We leave it to cure; the shower is usually usable the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Advice

When to call us in Gaunt's Common
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, typically along the edges or by the waste.
Look out for any of the following:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A damaged area around the waste
- Cracks running from the waste
- A tray that flexes
What to look for in a quote
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What preparation is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Gaunt's Common. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Gaunt's Common, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
