Shower tray repair at your home in Mortehoe
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. If you’re dealing with snagging damage in a new bathroom and a damaged area around the waste, we can generally put it right, on ceramic, cast iron and stone resin alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should you replace it?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and tiling again. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
What we’re called out for in Mortehoe
Cracks frequently start at the waste, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A crack across the base
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What protection goes down before work starts
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Get a moving tray checked
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
