When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

FAQs for Throop
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Can I get a quote without a visit?

Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Throop
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 matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, tidy-up included.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What else we do in Throop
Signs you need shower tray repair in Throop
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A damaged area around the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
Comparing quotes

- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How to care for the finish
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Don’t use strong acids or bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Report any creaking or movement early
Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- The material, if you know it
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- One visit for most repairs
- Same prices wherever you are
- Fixed prices from your pictures
