Shower tray repair for Sherborne homes

Your questions about shower tray repair in Sherborne

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Often. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. Once cured, normally by the day after, you can use the shower.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Store bottles off the tray

Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Should you replace it?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start 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.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area

See our full price list.

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 typically the cheaper route.

What we’re called out for in Sherborne

The waste is a common starting point for cracks, where the tray is cut and the fitting is tightened.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How soon you can use it again
