How we handle shower tray repair in Dunipace

Shower tray repairs are one of our most common jobs. Chips by the waste, cracks across the base and dull, stained surfaces are all things we fix in place. We regularly repair acrylic, cast iron and stone resin, and people most frequently call us about a tray that looks tired however much you clean it and chips caused during fitting.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Dunipace. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dunipace

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dunipace as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

If you manage property in Dunipace, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Stone resin

Stone resin trays are rigid and slim. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.

FAQs for Dunipace

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How long does it take to cure?

We will give you the curing time on the day, normally the next day.

What happens after I send photos?

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

How much does shower tray repair cost in Dunipace?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Is a cracked tray repairable?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First we check the tray is solid and work out why any crack happened.
  2. Next we clean and prepare the tray.
  3. We fill and strengthen any chips or cracks and sand them smooth.
  4. We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the whole tray.
  5. We leave it to cure; the shower is normally usable the next day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray keeps all of that in place. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Dunipace

Customers normally contact us about:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Scratches in the surface
  • Edge chips from dropped bottles
  • Damage from a refit or building work

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched
  • How to look after the finish

10 questions to ask before booking

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Report any creaking or movement early
  • Rinse away soap after showering

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

Do not keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, where it causes damage you cannot see.
