What affects the price in Ulwell
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
How we handle shower tray repair in Ulwell
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that’s the case. Typical jobs include a damaged area around the waste and a crack across the base, in acrylic, stone resin and cast iron.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ulwell as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
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
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures 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.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the following day.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: 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 quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use the extractor fan
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Rinse away soap after showering
Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.
Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Multiple cracks across the tray
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- A tray that moves underfoot
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Your questions about shower tray repair in Ulwell
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Ulwell.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Generally, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you redo the sealant?
Yes. We can repair and reseal on the same visit.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack isn’t letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.
Are you a vetted contractor?

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. They need a flat, solid base, and we match repairs to the surface finish.
Acrylic
Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, relaying the base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why book with us
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Colour mixed on the day to match
