About our shower tray repair in Dicklant
A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can generally be repaired in place, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you’re dealing with chipped corners or rims and staining and dullness across the tray, we can help, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Dicklant as everywhere else we work.

Common questions in Dicklant
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Dicklant.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What affects the price in Dicklant
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Dicklant. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your S45 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dicklant as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Signs you need shower tray repair in Dicklant
Trays fitted on timber floors can crack if the floor moves, particularly if it wasn’t fully bedded. On solid floors, cracks normally point to an uneven base.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Chips caused during fitting
- Scuffs and light scratches
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
Before you book anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the price covers travel
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Trays cracked in several places
- Leaking waste fittings
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Materials we work on in Dicklant
- Acrylic
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Stone resin
- Enamelled steel
Repairs by material
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Rinse away soap after showering
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
- Get a moving tray checked
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
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 cause damage underneath.
Repair or replace in Dicklant?
The tray itself may not cost much, but the work around it does: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Our shower tray repair starts from £95.
