Doddington questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?

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

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.

Are there extra charges for Doddington?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do you redo the sealant?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How we handle shower tray repair in Doddington

A cracked or chipped shower tray does not always need replacing. If it’s firmly supported, we can repair it where it is, saving you the cost and mess of a new one. If you’re dealing with a dull, stained or worn surface and chips caused during fitting, we can help, on acrylic, stone resin and enamelled steel alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Doddington

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Staining and dullness across the tray
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • A crack across the base

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Doddington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We check the tray for movement first.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Advice

How to look after the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water can’t get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base is not fully supported, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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