Shower tray repair & resurfacing in Northbourne, Dorset
Shower tray repair in and around Northbourne: a fixed quote from pictures, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Damage from a refit or building work
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Shower tray repair in Northbourne without replacing anything
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the crack does not come back. We work on stone resin, acrylic and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are damage around the waste and a dull, stained or worn surface.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

Why repair rather than replace?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- A fixed quote before you book
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colour-matched on site

When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Trays cracked in several places
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Use the extractor fan
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Landlord and trade work in Northbourne
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Northbourne use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Your questions about shower tray repair in Northbourne
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. The whole tray can be resurfaced without removing it.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How long does it take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
