Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Lake, Dorset
Shower tray repair for Lake, without a refit. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, then book a visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A dull, stained or worn surface
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, gentle cleaning and good ventilation keep it in good shape.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
How we handle shower tray repair in Lake
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will tell you if that’s the case. Our technicians work on ceramic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and the jobs we see most are damage around the waste and damage from a refit or building work.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Lake questions
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Lake included. There is no extra charge for travel.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How long does it take to cure?
Typically the next day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs

Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips can be filled and matched.
What we’re called out for in Lake
Most chips come from things dropped in the shower, usually along the edges or by the waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- Scratches in the surface
- Chips caused during fitting
- A cracked shower tray
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who will actually do the work
