Merritown questions
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Merritown?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
When can I use the shower again?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, generally the day after.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Only if you are sure it isn’t leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Dorset.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BH23 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Do you need shower tray repair in Merritown?
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A tray that flexes
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Chips on the edges
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether they match the colour on site
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Get a moving tray checked
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Store bottles off the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
