Shower tray repair in Dresden, done in place

We repair cracks, chips and scratches in stone resin, acrylic and ceramic trays, and worn trays can be resurfaced completely. The tray stays in place, so the enclosure and tiles aren’t disturbed. If you have a damaged area around the waste and scratches in the surface, we can help, on stone resin, cast iron and acrylic alike.

In and around Dresden, most homes are houses or bungalows, and a tray repair is normally a short visit.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What affects the price in Dresden

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

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

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 quote.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Get a moving tray checked
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. We clean and key the tray, then repair the damage.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.
