About our shower tray repair in Waddon
We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, or resurface the entire tray if it’s worn. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Common call-outs are for a damaged area around the waste and snagging damage in a new bathroom, in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Common questions in Waddon
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work in Waddon?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Waddon and the rest of Dorset. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Waddon included. Travel is included in the price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Ventilate the room after showers
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Waddon
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Should you replace it?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: removing the screen, breaking out tiles, relaying the base and re-tiling. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Common problems we fix in Waddon
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
The things customers typically mention when they call include:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips on the edges
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
- A cracked shower tray
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- A tray broken in more than one place
- Leaking waste fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
