How we handle shower tray repair in Dunning

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. Common call-outs are for chipped corners or rims and a crack across the base, in ceramic, stone resin and acrylic.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Store bottles off the tray
  • Don’t ignore a tray that flexes
  • Clean with washing-up liquid and a soft cloth

Keep heavy bottles off the tray floor, so they cannot be knocked over.

A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.

What shower tray repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole shower tray

Most clients in Dunning get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should you replace it?

A new tray can be cheap, but fitting it isn’t: taking out the enclosure, tiling and resealing. Repairing it takes one visit. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. The damaged area is cleaned and opened up.
  3. We reinforce any crack and fill the damage.
  4. We shape the repair, match the colour and finish it.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

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’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

When to call us in Dunning

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, every shower puts strain on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • A damaged area around the waste
  • Scuffs and light scratches

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Repairs by material

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so early repairs help.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
