West Knighton questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you cover the entire of Dorset?
All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you make an old tray look new?
Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.
Landlords, agents and businesses in West Knighton
For anyone letting property in or around West Knighton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Knighton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is typically best. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What we are called out for in West Knighton
Rigid trays do not bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.
Common reasons people in West Knighton contact us include:
- A cracked shower tray
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- A damaged area around the waste
- Scratches in the surface
Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price covers travel
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What preparation is included
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check whether the tray moves.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour matched and finished.
- We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
What shower tray repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including West Knighton. The price reflects:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole shower tray
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in West Knighton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Get a moving tray checked
- Check the seal every few months
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
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.

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
