Trusted shower tray repair in Dublin

Why repair rather than replace?

When the tray is firm and dry underneath, repair is the obvious choice. If the floor is damaged or the tray is badly cracked, replacement may make more sense. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Shower tray repair in Dublin, done in place

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. We regularly repair enamelled steel, stone resin and ceramic, and common reasons people get in touch are a tray that creaks or moves underfoot and scratches from cleaning or grit.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Use the extractor fan
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach

Wait the full curing time before you shower. After that, mild cleaners and good ventilation are all it needs.

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

Signs you need shower tray repair in Dublin

  • Damage around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • Movement when you stand on it

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in Dublin, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface.

  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. We refinish the surface to match the tray.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

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.

Advice

Dublin: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.

How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Dublin?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Normally, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so good support matters. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

Stone resin

Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. They crack if the base isn’t fully supported, and chips can be filled and matched.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • 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 will give you a straight answer before you book.
