For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Shower tray repair at your home in Gussage St Michael
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. We work on ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are cracks running from the waste and movement when you stand on it.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

FAQs for Gussage St Michael
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Dorset. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Do you cover Gussage St Michael?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Gussage St Michael for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What affects the price in Gussage St Michael
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Gussage St Michael. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
Repairing versus replacing in Gussage St Michael
Replacing a tray typically means removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

- The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.

Related advice
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that moves underfoot
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Acrylic
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Store bottles off the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
