Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
How we handle shower tray repair in Sturminster Newton
You don’t always need a new tray. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Typical jobs include chips on the edges and chips or cracks by the plughole, on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Questions from Sturminster Newton
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long does it take to cure?
We’ll give you the curing time on the day, generally the next day.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. We can resurface the entire tray for a fresh finish without removing it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you cover Sturminster Newton?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Sturminster Newton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
- We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
How to prepare

Advice
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DT10 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Sturminster Newton
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sturminster Newton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they cannot be knocked over.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.
