Shower tray repair in Sturminster Marshall

Shower tray repair in Sturminster Marshall, done in place

Most tray damage can be repaired in place, from chipped edges to cracks across the floor of the tray. We match the colour and finish. We work on stone resin, acrylic and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are scratches from cleaning or grit and chipped corners or rims.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Report any creaking or movement early

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Sturminster Marshall questions

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Sturminster Marshall.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. The entire tray can be resurfaced without removing it.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. We clean and prepare the damaged area or the whole tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Related advice

What affects the price in Sturminster Marshall

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Sturminster Marshall. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
