Fixed-price shower tray repair in West Melbury and the surrounding area, typically in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips or cracks by the plughole
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is usually best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Shower tray repair in West Melbury, done in place
Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. Our technicians work on stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are a crack across the base and edge chips from dropped bottles.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

When to call us in West Melbury
Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend if the floor beneath them is not flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips on the edges
- A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
- Scratches in the surface
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Your questions about shower tray repair in West Melbury
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Dorset.
When can I use the shower again?
We will give you the curing time on the day, normally the next day.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Trays cracked in several places
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair will not last.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Get a moving tray checked
- Replace failing sealant promptly
- Use the extractor fan
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
