Why repair rather than replace?

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Lytchett Matravers. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Lytchett Matravers questions
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you work in Lytchett Matravers?
We do. We send a technician to Lytchett Matravers for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use the extractor fan
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
What a repair can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
