Shower Tray Repair in Shipton Gorge
Shower tray repair across Shipton Gorge and nearby, generally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A dull, stained or worn surface
- Damage from a refit or building work
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.
Shower tray repair in Shipton Gorge without replacing anything
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. Our technicians work on ceramic, acrylic and enamelled steel, and people most frequently call us about scuffs and light scratches and a damaged area around the waste.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Questions from Shipton Gorge
How much does shower tray repair cost in Shipton Gorge?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
How long before I can shower?
We will give you the curing time on the day.
Do you cover the entire of Dorset?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you come to Shipton Gorge?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Shipton Gorge. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I keep using a cracked tray?
We would stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
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. Prices start 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.

What else we do in Shipton Gorge
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
