Dowles questions

Can you make an old tray look new?

Yes. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Do you redo the sealant?

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Shower tray repair in Dowles without replacing anything

Stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays can all be repaired, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. If you are dealing with a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips caused during fitting, we can help, on enamelled steel, stone resin and cast iron alike.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Damage below the tray that needs a builder

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, including clearing up.

  1. We check the tray is firmly supported and find the cause of any crack.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is generally usable the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

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

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Landlord and trade work in Dowles

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When to call us in Dowles

Heavy bottles, shower heads and dropped razors chip trays, normally along the edges or by the waste.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Chips caused during fitting
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • A cracked shower tray
  • Chipped corners or rims

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What prep work is covered
  • Who turns up on the day

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep an eye on the sealant, and reseal when it starts to fail.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks or gets worse.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
