Shower tray repair near Iwerne Minster

Shower tray repair in Iwerne Minster without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Common call-outs are for a dull, stained or worn surface and cracks running from the waste, in enamelled steel, cast iron and stone resin.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Iwerne Minster. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DT11 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Iwerne Minster

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Scratches from cleaning or grit
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Damage from a refit or building work

Comparing quotes

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if they find more damage
