How we handle shower tray repair in Uploders
The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, otherwise any crack returns. We will explain what we find. We’re frequently asked to fix a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips caused during fitting, across acrylic, cast iron and enamelled steel.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Landlord and trade work in Uploders
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.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
FAQs for Uploders
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How long before I can shower?
Generally the next day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We make sure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- Once cured, usually by the following day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should you replace it?
A new shower tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. A repair or resurface leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We leave the room as we found it

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Uploders
Trays crack mainly because they move: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Scratches in the surface
- Movement when you stand on it
- Cracks running from the waste
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- If travel is included in the price
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
