Materials and what they mean for the repair
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
What shower tray repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One picture of the whole shower tray
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Common problems we fix in Tincleton
A tired-looking tray is often the result of years of cleaning: abrasive pads, strong chemicals and limescale strip the surface finish.

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Plumbing leaks under the tray
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Tincleton questions
What areas do you cover?
All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes. Add it to your quote and we will do both on one visit.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
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.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tincleton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good.
