Shower tray repair near Shapwick

Why repair rather than replace?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Shower tray repair in Shapwick without replacing anything

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, which is far less work than a replacement. If you’re dealing with a damaged area around the waste and chips caused during fitting, we can normally put it right, on ceramic, enamelled steel and cast iron alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What a repair cannot fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Questions from Shapwick

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

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 cover the entire of Dorset?

The whole UK, including all of Dorset. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

When to call us in Shapwick

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A cracked shower tray
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom

Comparing quotes

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
