Shower tray repair at your home in North Chideock
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We’re often asked to fix chips on the edges and a tray that flexes, across acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in North Chideock use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
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’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Check the seal every few months
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Do not ignore a tray that flexes
Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including North Chideock. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Common problems we fix in North Chideock
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Chips caused during fitting
- Chipped corners or rims
Before booking anyone
- Aftercare advice
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Leaking waste fittings
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
