DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Landlord and trade work in Melbury Abbas
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Melbury Abbas: your questions answered
Do you redo the sealant?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Melbury Abbas?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Acrylic
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire 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 usually be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What affects the price in Melbury Abbas
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Melbury Abbas
Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips on the edges
- A cracked shower tray
- A damaged area around the waste
- Movement when you stand on it
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- What prep work is covered
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tray generally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
