How we handle shower tray repair in Throop
In most cases, a damaged tray can be repaired where it is, from a chip by the waste to a crack across the base. The colour and finish are matched. We regularly repair acrylic, ceramic and enamelled steel, and people most often call us about a dull, stained or worn surface and scuffs and light scratches.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Different materials, different repairs
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
Repairing versus replacing in Throop
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Throop. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why Throop customers choose us
- Work done at your home or business
- No extra charge for your area
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
See our pricing.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Store bottles off the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you can’t see.
Questions from Throop
How long before I can shower?
Normally the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you work in Throop?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Throop for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to use a cracked tray?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Do you cover the entire of Dorset?
We cover the whole UK, including Throop and the rest of Dorset. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Throop
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A cracked shower tray
- Staining and dullness across the tray
- A tray that flexes
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
What to look for in a quote
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the colour is matched
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What protection goes down before work starts
Landlords, agents and businesses in Throop
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- A tray broken in more than one place
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic
- Enamelled steel
- Cast iron
- Stone resin
- Ceramic
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- 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
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
