How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the tray
  • Stick to gentle cleaners
  • Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
  • Rinse the tray after each shower

Rinse the tray after use, clean with mild cleaners, and keep the sealant in good condition so water can’t get underneath.

Failed sealant around a tray should be replaced quickly. It lets water behind the tray and can cause damage underneath.

About our shower tray repair in Dunsby

Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack does not come back. Whether it’s cracks running from the waste and snagging damage in a new bathroom, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check whether the tray moves.
  2. We clean the damage and open it up so the repair can bond.
  3. Cracks are reinforced and the damage filled.
  4. The repair is shaped, colour-matched and finished.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally until the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.

Ceramic

Ceramic trays are hard and glossy. Impacts can chip or crack them, and the repair is polished to match the shine.

Repairing versus replacing in Dunsby

Trays sit under the screen and tiles, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Dunsby. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Trays cracked in several places
  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray that moves underfoot

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

What we work on

  • Stone resin
  • Cast iron
  • Enamelled steel

Dunsby questions

What does shower tray repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your PE10 postcode.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Lincolnshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
