Shower Tray Repair for Portland homes
We travel to Portland for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A crack across the base
- A damaged area around the waste
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Shower tray repair in Portland without replacing anything
A worn or stained tray can be resurfaced, for a clean, uniform finish without removing the screen or tiles. Whether it’s scuffs and light scratches and chips caused during fitting, we can generally put it right.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Where we work around Portland
Portland is about 5 miles south of Weymouth, in Dorset. From the centre of Portland to the outlying streets, we offer exactly the same service: fixed prices, tidy work and a one-year guarantee. Portland is one of 462 towns and villages in Dorset we cover.
Our repair technicians cover all of the DT5 postcode area. Streets in the area include New Road, Isle Road and Park Road, all of which we cover. If you are just outside Portland, we cover Easton (1 mile south-east), Weston (1 mile south), Grove (1 mile east), Fortuneswell (1 mile north) and Castletown (1 mile north). Larger places within reach include Weymouth (5 miles north), Dorchester (11 miles north), Rodwell (4 miles north), Fordington (11 miles north), Melcombe Regis (5 miles north) and Greenhill (5 miles north).
Around Portland
Typical jobs here are in homes near St George's Community Primary School, Atlantic Academy Portland and St George's Church. Nearby too are The George Inn (under half a mile south) and Victoria Gardens (0.9 miles north). For rail, the closest station is Weymouth station, roughly 4.6 miles north. Further afield, we also cover the area around Weymouth and Portland (1.3 miles north-west) and Portwey Hospital (3.9 miles north).
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
Portland: your questions answered
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How much does shower tray repair cost in Portland?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your DT5 postcode.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- A tray that moves underfoot
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Portland
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Portland. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Portland. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- The material, if you know it
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DT5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Different materials, different repairs
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
