Shower tray repair in Lower Bockhampton, done in place

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. We match the colour and finish so the repair blends in. Typical jobs include scuffs and light scratches and chips caused during fitting, on cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What we do, step by step

On the day, 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 a day for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, typically until the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice

Should you replace it?

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Lower Bockhampton

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

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.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs for Lower Bockhampton

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How long before I can shower?

You will get the exact time when we finish, typically the next day.

Do you cover Lower Bockhampton?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Lower Bockhampton. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DT2 postcode.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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.

Do you need shower tray repair in Lower Bockhampton?

Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • A crack across the base
  • Chips on the edges
  • A damaged area around the waste
