Do you need shower tray repair in Preston?
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Damage around the waste
- A tray that flexes
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Chips caused during fitting
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled

How we handle shower tray repair in Preston
The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. We regularly repair cast iron, acrylic and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about chips or cracks by the plughole and a cracked shower tray.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Preston questions
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Preston included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
What affects the price in Preston
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Preston. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled steel
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Cast iron
- Acrylic

Preston and the surrounding area
Preston is about 3 miles north-east of Weymouth, in Dorset. Jobs in Preston are booked in like any other job: a fixed quote from your photos, then a visit to do the work. Preston is one of 462 towns and villages in Dorset where we work.
All of DT3 is covered. Local streets include Mill Lane, Church Road and Sutton Road, and we cover them all. Preston sits on or near the A353, so getting to you is simple.

Landlord and trade work in Preston
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry
- Clear the area around the damage
