Shower tray repair in Wimborne Minster

Shower tray repair at your home in Wimborne Minster

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. If the tray moves, the support is fixed or flagged before we repair it, so the repair lasts. We work on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic, and people most often call us about edge chips from dropped bottles and snagging damage in a new bathroom.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Why repair rather than replace?

The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, 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.

Wimborne Minster questions

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Wimborne Minster?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you come to Wimborne Minster?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Wimborne Minster for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How long does it take to cure?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day, typically the day after.

What affects the price in Wimborne Minster

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Wimborne Minster. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder
  • A tray broken in more than one place

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel
  • Stone resin
  • Acrylic
  • Ceramic

Common problems we fix in Wimborne Minster

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips typically come from dropped bottles.

The things customers generally mention when they call are:

  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Damage around the waste
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • A cracked shower tray

Questions to ask before booking

  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What aftercare is recommended

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Wimborne Minster, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
