Shower tray repair in Winterbourne Abbas, done in place
A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. We work on ceramic, acrylic and stone resin, and common reasons people contact us are staining and dullness across the tray and damage around the waste.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- 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.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder

FAQs for Winterbourne Abbas
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you fix a cracked tray?
Frequently. A tray that moves needs its support sorting before the repair.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Check the seal every few months
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Get a moving tray checked
- Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
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 damage the floor below.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

What else we do in Winterbourne Abbas
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
If you manage property in Winterbourne Abbas, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
