Shower tray repair for Dunnet homes

Repairing versus replacing in Dunnet

If the tray is solid and the crack hasn’t let water spread, repair is normally best. If water has damaged the floor, or the tray is cracked in several places, a new tray may be better. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Dunnet. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Signs you need shower tray repair in Dunnet

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Chips normally come from dropped bottles.

Look out for these signs:

  • Scuffs and light scratches
  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Snagging damage in a new bathroom
  • Cracks running from the waste

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

How we price shower tray repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Rinse away soap after showering
  • Keep heavy bottles on a shelf
  • Ventilate the room after showers
  • Do not use strong acids or bleach

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. Warm water and a mild detergent is enough.

Every shower forces a little water into a crack, which can damage the floor over time. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. 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. Old sealant is removed if it’s in the way.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We clean up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Water damage to the floor beneath the tray
  • Movement caused by a poor base, until the support is fixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.

What your shower tray is made of matters

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

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

Dunnet: your questions answered

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Usually, as long as it does not flex. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

How much does shower tray repair cost in Dunnet?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you cover the entire of Highland?

The entire UK, including all of Highland. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
