How it works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take 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.
- We check the tray for movement first.
- We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
- We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
- The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
- It’s left to cure, typically until the following day.
How to prepare

Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep an eye on the sealant so water cannot get underneath.
Every shower forces a little water into a crack, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What affects the price in Dumbiedykes

- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Dumbiedykes. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Repairs to cracks are reinforced from the back.
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
