Shower tray repair in Sherborne St John without replacing anything

In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched so the repair blends in. Whether it’s movement when you stand on it and chipped corners or rims, we can generally put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Sherborne St John, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Different materials, different repairs

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

Sherborne St John: your questions answered

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

Can you replace the silicone at the same time?

Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Sherborne St John.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sherborne St John use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

When to call us in Sherborne St John

On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Chips caused during fitting

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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 normally the cheaper route.
