The process
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We ensure the tray does not flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Winterborne Houghton: your questions answered
Can you resurface a whole tray?
Yes. We can resurface the whole tray for a fresh finish.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Are there extra charges for Winterborne Houghton?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you replace the silicone at the same time?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Winterborne Houghton
For anyone letting property in or around Winterborne Houghton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not use strong acids or bleach
- Give the tray a quick rinse after use
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Keep the bathroom well ventilated
Avoid abrasive pads and strong descalers. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Do you need shower tray repair in Winterborne Houghton?
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On concrete, an uneven base is the usual cause.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips on the edges
- Scuffs and light scratches
- A tray that flexes
- Staining and dullness across the tray

What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Multiple cracks across the tray
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Winterborne Houghton
- Enamelled steel
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
