Shower tray repair at your home in Dewlish

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll tell you if that is the case. If you’re dealing with a cracked shower tray and chips on the edges, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Acrylic

Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it needs firm support underneath. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.

What affects the price in Dewlish

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. The damaged area, or the entire tray, is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill and reinforce chips and cracks, then sand them flush.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dewlish as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water may be getting under the tray, where it causes damage you cannot see.

Dewlish questions

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can I keep using a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Check the ceiling below for damp.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Dewlish

Stone resin trays are rigid, so they crack rather than bend when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Timber floors that move can cause it too.

Look out for these signs:

  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that flexes
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How your room will be protected
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
