About our shower tray repair in Talbot Village
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. We regularly repair ceramic, cast iron and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about scuffs and light scratches and cracks running from the waste.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

FAQs for Talbot Village
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you work in Talbot Village?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Talbot Village from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Talbot Village and the rest of Bournemouth. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
If you are in Talbot Village and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Related advice
Should you replace it?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
