Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the whole tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles are not disturbed. Typical jobs include staining and dullness across the tray and snagging damage in a new bathroom, on stone resin, ceramic and cast iron.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Stratton: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Dorset. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Stratton
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scratches in the surface
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Chips caused during fitting
Before you book anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Repairing versus replacing in Stratton
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What a repair cannot fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
- Multiple cracks across the tray

How we price shower tray repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Stratton. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Get a moving tray checked
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
