Shower Tray Repair for Sandford Orcas homes
Our technicians come to Sandford Orcas for shower tray chip, crack and scratch repairs and resurfacing. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- A tray that flexes
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How we handle shower tray repair in Sandford Orcas
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. Nothing is taken out, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. We regularly repair acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are a tray that flexes and damage around the waste.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sandford Orcas as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DT9 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What we’re called out for in Sandford Orcas
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Sandford Orcas questions
Can you fix a cracked tray?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Do you cover Sandford Orcas?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Sandford Orcas for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Repairing versus replacing in Sandford Orcas
Replacing a tray usually means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.
