Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.

Shower tray repair at your home in South Bowood

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. Nothing is taken out, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. We are often asked to fix movement when you stand on it and chips or cracks by the plughole, in acrylic, enamelled steel and ceramic.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One price list for the whole UK

Take a look at our full price list.

What affects the price in South Bowood

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for South Bowood. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

If you’re in South Bowood and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in South Bowood

Common questions in South Bowood

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you cover the entire of Dorset?

Across the UK, and that includes South Bowood. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

Do you need shower tray repair in South Bowood?

A tired-looking tray is frequently the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scratches in the surface
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Before you book anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How to look after the finish

10 questions to ask before booking

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
