Drym: your questions answered

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Is it OK to use a cracked tray?

We would stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.

How long before I can shower?

Usually the day after. We’ll confirm before we leave.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

When to call us in Drym

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Damage from a refit or building work
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Movement when you stand on it
  • Chipped corners or rims

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach
  • Report any creaking or movement early

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

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can damage the floor below.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Repairing versus replacing in Drym

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it is not: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. A repair is one visit. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Drym. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Acrylic

Acrylic trays are lighter and slightly flexible, so good support matters. We repair cracks and scratches.
