Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
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.
Shower tray repair in Langton Matravers without replacing anything
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you are dealing with chips or cracks by the plughole and a crack across the base, we can usually put it right, on stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit.

Should you replace it?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. 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. 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. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What we’re called out for in Langton Matravers
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Movement when you stand on it
- Damage from a refit or building work
- Scratches from cleaning or grit

- Who will actually do the work
- What prep work is covered
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store bottles off the tray
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Rinse away soap after showering
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Langton Matravers: your questions answered
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you work in Langton Matravers?
We do. We send a technician to Langton Matravers for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
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 typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
