Shower tray repair in Dunkirk, done in place

The first thing we do is check the tray: if it flexes underfoot, the cause needs sorting before any repair, or the crack will come back. We’ll explain what we find. If you are dealing with scuffs and light scratches and chips or cracks by the plughole, we can help, on stone resin, enamelled steel and ceramic alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Common questions in Dunkirk

How long before I can shower?

We’ll give you the curing time on the day.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

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

Acrylic

Acrylic-capped trays are lighter, so a firm base is essential. Cracks and scratches can be repaired.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Multiple cracks across the tray
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Leaking waste fittings

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Check the seal every few months
  • Keep the bathroom well ventilated
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Don’t use strong acids or bleach

Rinse the tray after use, use mild, non-abrasive cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water cannot get underneath.

Act on split sealant early. Water gets behind and under the tray and can damage the floor below.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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 generally cheaper.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We protect the floor and the enclosure.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

When to call us in Dunkirk

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: if a tray wasn’t bedded on a solid, even base, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Chips caused during fitting
  • Chips on the edges
  • Staining and dullness across the tray

Before booking anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
