How we handle shower tray repair in Dimson
We check the tray before repairing it: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We will explain what we find. Whether it’s a tray that flexes and cracks running from the waste, we can typically put it right, on enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What we are called out for in Dimson
Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack if the floor beneath them isn’t flat and fully supported. Timber floors that move can cause it too.
Look out for any of the following:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Snagging damage in a new bathroom
- Damage around the waste
- Staining and dullness across the tray
Before booking anyone
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- What preparation is included
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Stick to gentle cleaners
- Check the seal every few months
- Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.
What affects the price in Dimson
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
- The repair is colour-matched, or the whole tray gets a new finish.
- Once cured, usually by the next day, you can use the shower.
Before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Common questions in Dimson
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.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
In most cases. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dimson use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Dimson, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Why repair rather than replace?
When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. 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.
