Shower tray repair for Swanage homes

What affects the price in Swanage

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the whole shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Swanage, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Shower tray repair at your home in Swanage

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the screen and tiling stay as they are. Whether it’s a damaged area around the waste and staining and dullness across the tray, we can help, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Swanage questions

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

Only if you are sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you cover Swanage?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Swanage and the rest of Dorset. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Swanage included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Often. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice

Common problems we fix in Swanage

Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A crack across the base
  • Damage around the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

Different materials, different repairs

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally means refitting the screen, retiling and resealing. Repairing it avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic
  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Stick to gentle cleaners

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Swanage, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
