Shower tray repair near Dungate

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
  4. We match the colour, or refinish the full tray.
  5. The tray is left to cure and can typically be used the next day.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A tray that moves underfoot
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Stone resin
  • Ceramic
  • Cast iron
  • Acrylic
  • Enamelled steel

Aftercare tips

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

  • Avoid strong descalers and bleach
  • Replace failing sealant promptly
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the tray

Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.

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

Dungate questions

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can a stained tray be refinished?

Yes. Resurfacing gives a worn tray an even, clean finish.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Does someone need to be in?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Dungate is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you cover Dungate?

We do. We send a technician to Dungate for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

Most customers in Dungate get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dungate

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Dungate, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Repairs by material

Ceramic

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

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.
