Questions from Dawsholm

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

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

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What affects the price in Dawsholm

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  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

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Leaking waste fittings
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use the extractor fan
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Check the seal every few months

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below isn’t visible.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. We repair cracks and scratches.
