Shower tray repair at your home in Winterborne Stickland
We repair plenty of shower trays. Chipped edges, cracks and worn finishes are all things we fix in place. If you’re dealing with cracks running from the waste and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can usually put it right.
In a village like Winterborne Stickland, many shower trays are in cottages and barn conversions, where floors may be timber. A crack is only repaired once we know the tray is firm.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

What else we do in Winterborne Stickland
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and the room is left clean and tidy. Somewhere as small as Winterborne Stickland, access is normally the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- The damaged area, or the whole tray, is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
- Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Repairing versus replacing in Winterborne Stickland
Replacing a tray normally involves removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. For a rural home like those around Winterborne Stickland, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.
Our shower tray repair starts from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. Getting it repaired quickly is much cheaper than fixing a floor.
Questions from Winterborne Stickland
Will you travel to Winterborne Stickland?
Yes, we cover the whole UK, villages included.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How long before I can shower?
You will get the exact time when we finish.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
