How we handle shower tray repair in Dowsdale
If the entire tray looks tired, we can resurface it, for a clean, uniform finish. We regularly repair cast iron, stone resin and enamelled steel, and common reasons people contact us are damage from a refit or building work and a crack across the base.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire shower tray
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- The surface is refinished to match.
- We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.
Getting ready for the visit

Dowsdale: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can a stained tray be refinished?
Yes, it’s a common job. A full resurface makes a tired tray look fresh.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
It’s best to stop using it until it’s checked, in case water is getting through.
What your shower tray is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Use the extractor fan
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
Give the repair its full curing time before showering. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.
Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. Water gets behind and under the tray and can cause damage underneath.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Dowsdale
For anyone letting property in or around Dowsdale, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When to call us in Dowsdale
Trays crack mainly because they move: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Chips generally come from dropped bottles.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Damage from a refit or building work
- A cracked shower tray
- Scratches in the surface
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended
