Signs you need shower tray repair in Sandford
A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chips on the edges
- Damage from a refit or building work
Questions to ask before booking
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How the colour is matched
- When it can be used again
- How the room is protected while they work
Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the floor and the enclosure.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sandford
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repairing versus replacing in Sandford
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Sandford
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 frequently lifts.
How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.
