How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. It’s left to cure, usually until the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach
  • Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black

Rinse the tray down after showering, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Don’t keep using a cracked tray. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Dunkerton

Rigid trays don’t bend, they crack when they sit on an uneven or poorly supported floor. Movement in a timber floor has the same effect.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • A tray that creaks or moves underfoot
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and we match the gloss when we repair them.

Enamelled steel

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

FAQs for Dunkerton

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you reseal the tray as well?

Yes. Add it to your quote and we’ll do both on one visit.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you make an old tray look new?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed
  • Leaking waste fittings

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
