Shower tray repair in Staddiscombe, done in place
Before repairing a crack, we find out why it happened. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Typical jobs include chips or cracks by the plughole and a cracked shower tray, on cast iron, ceramic and enamelled steel.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Different materials, different repairs
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Staddiscombe: your questions answered
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Generally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Staddiscombe?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Why repair rather than replace?
Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Our shower tray repair starts 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, to avoid chips.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
What affects the price in Staddiscombe
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Staddiscombe, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the next day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
