Questions from Hartgrove
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Hartgrove?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Are there extra charges for Hartgrove?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Dorset.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Shower tray repair in Hartgrove, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Common call-outs are for scratches in the surface and a damaged area around the waste, on cast iron, acrylic and ceramic.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hartgrove as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
For a price in Hartgrove, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Hartgrove

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs 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 you know the cost before booking.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
