Shower tray repair for Dunham-on-the-Hill homes

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Give the tray a quick rinse after use
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Ventilate the room after showers

Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, so they can’t be knocked over.

Act on split sealant early. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

Shower tray repair in Dunham-on-the-Hill, done in place

A cracked or chipped shower tray doesn’t always need replacing. If it’s solid underneath, it can typically be repaired in place, which is far less work than a replacement. Common call-outs are for a dull, stained or worn surface and movement when you stand on it, in stone resin, acrylic and cast iron.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Dunham-on-the-Hill. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • 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.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire shower tray

Most customers in Dunham-on-the-Hill get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

FAQs for Dunham-on-the-Hill

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you fix a cracked tray?

Typically, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Plumbing leaks under the tray
  • A tray that moves underfoot

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that, at a fraction of the cost. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Everything repaired in place

Landlord and trade work in Dunham-on-the-Hill

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Common problems we fix in Dunham-on-the-Hill

Dull and stained trays are normally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads wear the finish away.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • A dull, stained or worn surface
  • Chips on the edges
  • A cracked shower tray

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Repairs by material

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are heavy and rigid with a gel-coat finish. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.

Ceramic

Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. Impacts can chip or crack them, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  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

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
