Trusted shower tray repair in Symondsbury

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Shower tray repair in Symondsbury, done in place

You do not always need a new tray. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. Whether it’s damage around the waste and a tray that creaks or moves underfoot, we can help, on ceramic, stone resin and enamelled steel alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our pricing.

When to call us in Symondsbury

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • A crack across the base
  • Chips caused during fitting

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

Landlord and trade work in Symondsbury

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled steel
  • Cast iron
  • Stone resin

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
  5. It’s left to cure, normally until the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Questions from Symondsbury

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can landlords book you?

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

Do you cover Symondsbury?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Symondsbury. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Normally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, because water may be getting underneath.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How to care for the repair

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Rinse away soap after showering

Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water may be getting under the tray, and the damage below is not visible.
