Shower tray repair for Dobs Hill homes

Shower tray repair in Dobs Hill, done in place

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. We work on ceramic, acrylic and cast iron, and the jobs we see most are a dull, stained or worn surface and a damaged area around the waste.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Flintshire.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Multiple cracks across the tray

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

  • Enamelled steel
  • Acrylic
  • Stone resin

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dobs Hill

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dobs Hill use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Repair or replace in Dobs Hill?

The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so replacing one disturbs a lot around it. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Everything repaired in place

See our prices page.

Questions from Dobs Hill

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

When can I use the shower again?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use the extractor fan

Rinse the tray down after showering, use mild, non-abrasive 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Dobs Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
