Shower tray repair in Dendron

Shower tray repair at your home in Dendron

The first thing we do is check the tray: a tray that moves needs its support sorted first, or the crack will come back. We will tell you if that is the case. We regularly repair acrylic, enamelled steel and stone resin, and people most often call us about damage from a refit or building work and a tray that flexes.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Dendron: your questions answered

Do you cover Dendron?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Dendron. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Dendron?

Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?

Everywhere in the UK, Dendron included. Travel is included in the price.

What shower tray repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Dendron. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Dendron, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Replace failing sealant promptly

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Should you replace it?

A new shower tray frequently means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. A repair leaves all of that untouched. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Take a look at our prices page.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Dendron

Cracks frequently start at the waste, because that is where the tray is weakest and the fitting puts pressure on it.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Chipped corners or rims
  • Damage from a refit or building work

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched

Choosing a repair company

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Trays cracked in several places

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
