Shower tray repair in Dogslacks

Shower tray repair in Dogslacks without replacing anything

If the whole tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. Our technicians work on cast iron, enamelled steel and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about cracks running from the waste and movement when you stand on it.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Dogslacks and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Different materials, different repairs

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, including clearing up.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Trays cracked in several places

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Choosing a repair company

How we price shower tray repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire shower tray

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. Repairing it avoids that disruption. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

FAQs for Dogslacks

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 you redo the sealant?

Yes, if you’d like us to. It’s a good time to replace old sealant.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

Only if you’re sure it is not leaking. Look for damp or stains below.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

When can I use the shower again?

Generally the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
