Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Dayhills, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.
Ceramic
Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
FAQs for Dayhills
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Dayhills is covered. Prices do not change with location.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How long does it take to cure?
Normally by the following day. We will tell you the exact time when we finish.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How we price shower tray repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Dayhills. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price 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 you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray.
- We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
- We clean and prepare the damaged area or the entire tray.
- We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
- We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
- The tray is left to cure and can normally be used the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Ventilate the room after showers
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
- Replace failing sealant promptly
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
