DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
Check the silicone around the tray every few months, and reseal when it starts to fail.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Studland: your questions answered
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is a cracked tray repairable?
Usually, as long as it doesn’t flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Dorset. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Repair or replace in Studland?
The tray is typically the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What affects the price in Studland
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, typically on the edges or near the plughole.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Damage around the waste
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A crack across the base
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How soon you can use it again
