Puddle Dock questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Puddle Dock is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Normally, as long as it doesn’t flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Puddle Dock for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Puddle Dock. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Store bottles off the tray
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
