What we’re called out for in Hinton
The waste is a common starting point for cracks, because that’s where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.
Look out for these signs:
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A crack across the base
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that flexes
Questions to ask before booking
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
How to get a price

Landlord and trade work in Hinton
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hinton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Should you replace it?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Hinton
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Dorset.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Normally, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Repairs by material
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. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
What affects the price in Hinton
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
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.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
