Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Holwell, Dorset
Problem with your shower tray in Holwell? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Scratches in the surface
- A crack across the base
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Shower tray repair in Holwell without replacing anything
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, giving it a fresh, even finish. Common call-outs are for chips or cracks by the plughole and damage from a refit or building work, across cast iron, acrylic and stone resin.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Common questions in Holwell
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you come to Holwell?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Holwell from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Holwell. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

- Same prices wherever you are

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Landlord and trade work in Holwell
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When to call us in Holwell
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips on the edges
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips caused during fitting
- Damage around the waste
Before you book anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Who turns up on the day
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
